Hey there! I’m sorry for being absent for a while. The holidays are upon us, and it’s one of my busiest times of the year with family, and eBay!
This month absolutely, without a doubt, you should be selling toys on eBay! A lot of you like to take the month off, which is totally fine! BUT – on the other hand a lot of people like the holiday season to carry them to the New Year. I love this time of year…I can make an awesome profit, with only pennies invested.
How do I do that?
If you have kids, it’s a no brainer….clean out the toy box(es)! You will be suprised at how well used toys hold their value.
Twice a year we go through the toys and make 4 piles.
Donate – Toys that may not be complete, or anything that may not be worth selling.
eBay – Complete sets, working toys in good condition.
Craigslist – I utilize Craigslist for an alternate stream of income. Mostly, for delicate, big and/or heavy items that I really don’t want to ship. The turn around time is usually pretty fast.
Hand-Me-Down – Items that will go to family and/or friends.
Help other moms clean out their kids toys!
Help friends go through their piles of toys and books, writing down each one. Take a day to research them, and offer a set amount for the entire lot. Most times, moms are just so happy to get things out of the house, any amount is appreciative.
Now that you have all of these toys – get busy right away. Although you can sell toys pretty much all year on eBay, it’s good to get them listed while everything you’ve researched is still fresh in your mind.
Happy Selling!

You are right! Toys are the thing to be selling right now. I remember when I was a kid, we used to spend hours looking through the Christmas books (Sears, JCPenny, Wards) and dream about all those toys!
