How I made over $2500 selling tooth tunes toothbrushes

As the holiday season approaches, listen carefully to what your children are asking for as it may very well be the next hot item to sell on eBay. I have yet to find that single one thing for this holiday season, but I have made a lot of extra cash in previous years by listening to my children. A few years ago, my young son and daughter were each asking for the tooth brush that played music … Tooth Tunes. While they didn't specifically say which one they desired, I realized that many people all over the world were seeking specific ones:  Star Wars, Kiss & Queen. These toothbrushes were purchased as gifts and / or collector’s items. Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana were also popular at that time, so I did sell many of those for young children and teens.

Thanks to my children, I was able to purchase the Tooth Tunes they asked for and much, much more from the profit I made selling them on eBay! As a matter of fact, I earned a hefty profit by reselling the toothbrushes worldwide. Each toothbrush cost an average of $7. I was able to sell the toothbrushes from $15 - $30 each, resulting in a profit of over $2500!

The musical toothbrushes fit perfectly in Christmas stockings and encourage kids to brush their teeth for 2 full minutes of music. A win-win! Buy a favorite artist today:

Vintage Pendleton sweater catches my eye

I normally do not specifically seek heavy knit sweaters while out thrift store shopping (thrifting), but I knew there was something a little different about this sweater. I purchased it for $4 at a local thrift store and after a little research, realized it was Cowichan Pendleton sweater similar to the one Jeff Bridges wore in the classic movie, The Big Lebowski. These sweaters can fetch a pretty penny on eBay! See the completed eBay search results below:

Recommended postal scale from an experienced eBay seller

I have been selling on eBay for over 10 years having sold over 10,000 items worldwide. I print and ship all of my packages from my home office using a highly reliable postal scale from Weighmax. The scale weighs packages up to 75 pounds – it is small, convenient and fairly inexpensive. The postal clerks love me as the weight of my packages is always right on the money!

If you are looking to sell on eBay or simply in the market for a new postal scale, I highly recommend the Weighmax Capacity Postal Shipping Scale, Battery and AC Adapter Included, Gray (W-2822-75-GRAY)

How to make thrift store shopping fun for children

As a mother of two children, selling on eBay has its challenges. One of the challenges is taking the children thrift store shopping. When my children were younger, it was easy to get them to thrift shop with me. I simply paid them a quarter for each resellable item they found. Now that they are older (16 and 12), a quarter isn't enough.
