Overlooked Collectibles Bring the Biggest Surprises

What’s really selling on eBay might surprise you, especially when the overlooked items outperform the ones everyone is watching.

Is trending even a thing? We’re examining several trending items from our recent eBay sales and comparing them with other collectibles that aren’t getting the same attention but are selling for as much or more. Does the hen on nest or the lion sell for more? What overlooked $8 item sells for five times the price? And what obscure bowl sells for six times what a highly coveted Fenton art glass vase brings?

We show a selection of our recent eBay auction sales and compare similar items to see what makes some collectibles sell for higher prices online. Some familiar pieces perform as expected, while others completely change the comparison. We take credit for our successes, accept blame for our listing failures, and show the potential and pitfalls sellers face when listing vintage and collectible items on eBay.

We appreciate our members for the additional support that makes these detailed videos possible. During this premiere, members also receive an exclusive chat as we look closely at what buyers are actually paying for and which overlooked items outperform the collectibles getting the most attention. We greatly appreciate everyone who watches and joins us in discovering the things that are really selling while the “trend alerts” miss them.
