I've been a hobbyist ebayer since the 90's. I was even a "Super Seller" for a time. I didn't need the money but just enjoyed the thrill of the hunt and the satisfaction of finding things that brought people happiness.
I can't say I ever made a real profit. I'd win on one item big and lose on 10 others but always broke even so it was cool. My intended purpose was met.
But today, it's a whole new ballgame. I end up giving away (at a loss) most of what I find. One day I put about 50 items out front of the house and posted a FREE sign. Stuff that cost me hundreds was quickly scarfed up by locals.
I'd like to continue my little "hobby" but really don't want to throw money away either. I (we) already give a lot to nonprofit entities.
Any suggestions on what the heck sells these days? One thing is for darn sure, what I've been buying isn't it.
