Yeah - sorry - you might be able to double your money - but not much more

We have one just like it

Again, you need to put a solid color behind the items to make them clearer to see. Just a suggestion.

Nerf guns are great but you probably overpaid

The purple bear and the lizard bring HIGH money still if it’s the right one. I don’t know how to tell them apart so I bought them as a gamble.

I bought a huge bag full of beanies from goodwill one time (someone must have died and their family dumped their precious collection).. Got excited at first looking at EBay sales for the rare ones but for as many $5,000 beanie auctions there were the same items for $10.

Eta they're still sitting in a bag because I've been too lazy to put them on eBay for $15 at a time.

You gotta know what to look for. People asks $1000’s for the rare purple one, but it actually only sells for around $300-$400, same with the lizard.

I just looked up the Vitamix blender. I will do quite well with it. It should bring $200+

The vitamix is a home run. Those sell quickly. Starbucks mugs at $5 could sell well as a lot if even one is desirable. Curious to see what happens with those.

Brass does well in my booth. I found a pair of brass lovebirds yesterday for next to nothing.

When I list small things like the jewelry on eBay, I do put on solid white background.
