I listed this vietnam war plaque a number of times on ebay for $35 or $40, then finally gave up and left it on my wall. Then I moved it to my antique mall display case, priced at $30, where it didn't sell either.

Just clearing out inventory last week so I relisted it on ebay with a starting bid of $25 and free shipping. And last night it sold for $152.50!!! The second highest bid of $150 was from Norway. I KNEW it was a high quality item when I bought it, but never figured it would take this long to find the right buyers.

That is just down right crazy!

There was an antique dealer in our town that had a Jenny Lind bed and dresser. She had it marked $850, and progressively marked it down each week until she had the price down to $250. She moved it to the front store window display with a big sign reading "SALE...$250" where it sat for a month.

She finally took it to a consignment auction...and it sold for $1200.

It's funny how that works. I just had one this week as well. A calculator that was broken nonetheless started it off at $9.99 never sold. try to auction it three times not a single bid. put it up there by it now or best offer for $30 and somebody bought it right away!

Awesome! I had a nice Sherwood amplifier that was returned to me as the buyer said it was not working. Put it back on eBay, stated it was not working, and got $50 more for it. The new buyer was very happy with it too!

I think i'll try that with a Dunhill lighter that got returned because it doesn't work right.
