    Question Is anything selling on ebay?

    It's been quite a while since I sold anything on ebay and I'm wondering what you have noticed that is actually selling or even what type of things you are buying.

    I have lots of stuff - nothing special - but nevertheless stuff I would like to sell but everytime I browse for similar items on ebay, I don't see much selling. I have the usual - household decor junk, lots of kid's chapter books (the ones dd didn't like), some clothes, etc. I've been piling it up for a while but I am real close to making a Goodwill run and just donating it instead.

    What do you think?

    I think with garage sale season in full swing, ebay sales on many items are down. I know I haven't been looking on ebay for things lately.

    I did just bid and won some auctions pver the weekend though.

    I used to sell and buy on ebay a lot more years ago and I think there are more people in it as a business or to supplement their income now. Prices and shipping and handling charges are out of control.

    I can't believe I used to be camped on ebay and now it's just something I visit once in awhile.

    I've been doing OK with clipping coupons and getting rid of baby stuff. I sold my old cell phone and 2 shower heads I didn't expect would sell!

    I have a bunch of books that I listed last week. Listed 18 and only 3 sold. I may put them in storage and try to sell them again in the Fall when half.com shuts down. You never know when the best time to list anything is.
