7 profitable electronic toys to resell on ebay

7 electronic toys you can find at garage sales and thrift stores

Electronic toys can be a great seller on eBay, but there are a some problems that can occur with these products such as bad LCD screens, broken buttons and corroded battery compartments. If possible, always test any used product you want to sell online prior to purchasing so you don't waste your time and money buying something that doesn't work.

In this article I provide you with 5 toys you can sell on eBay for profit.  If you checkout my eBay bolo list on Pinterest, you can find more money making products you can sell online.   Also check out my entire blog to see what else sells on eBay.

1. Cube World -  Up to $100.00 for a moderate sized lot around the holidays.


Some of you might recognize these funny little cubes with LCD screens made by Radica from 2005 - 2008.  These cubes features electronic stick figures that could move from cube to  cube when stuck together.

Cube world collectors, and artists are actively searching for these cubes collect, and create fun nostalgic worlds.

These toys can easily be found at garage sales, and thrift stores for next to nothing, and if you collect enough of them you can get over $100.00 around the holiday season.

2. Tomagotchi - Up to $300.00 factory sealed


Tomagotchi toys are very easy to miss, but can be found at yard sales and while you are out thrifting. They are the size of a large key chain, and come in various shapes and sized. Depending on the type and condition, these little key chains can fetch some pretty nice profits on eBay. One time at a thrift store, I found 5 of them for $3.00. I made a pretty hefty profit on the set.

3. Pokemon Pokedex - Regular up to $30.00  Gold deluxe up to $250.00 used!


The standard Pokemon Pokedex are fairly common to find at your local thrift marts, and garage sales and can fetch up to $30.00 online.  They are bright red, and have Pokemon Pokedex on the outside.  The Deluxe Pokemon Pokedex on the other hand is much rarer with a price tag of up to $250.00 used!   In general Pokemon related toys are always worth looking into.  You never know when you are going to find a gem in the toy section.


4. Nintendo Game and Watch - Up to $1000.00



Nintendo Game and Watch handhelds have a very distinct look, and once you know what you are looking for you can easily spot them. These handhelds are not something that is common which is why they can sell for over $1000.00 on some market places, but I have come across them. Make sure you do your research because the value of these handhelds depends on their conditions, and completeness.

Vintage tiger handhelds - Up to $100.00



Another handheld that you can keep your eyes out for are the vintage tiger handhelds.  They come in various titles, and are very dependent on condition.  If you find them new, these are your best bet, but there are some surprising titles such as Full house that sold used on eBay for $50.00



Conclusion

Knowing what sells on ebay is a snap if you know how to properly conduct research.  These 5 electronic toys will definitely make you money on ebay if you come across them, but if you learn how to conduct your own reasearch ,or have an eBay coach to help you, you will be able to find your own stuff at garage sales & thrift stores to resell for profit.

To start things off, we are going to cover the broad portion of the niche then dial down to various niches inside.


Vintage kitchen products


Kitchen products sell very well on eBay and are a great spot to look for things that will can make you money.

When it comes to selling the older kitchen products, things can get a little overwhelming if you don't specialize.
  • Flatware
  • Pots & Pans
  • Small appliances
  • Repair parts
  • Specialty appliances

Flatware
Flatware is one of my favorite things to sell on online because you can find large lots of them at garage sales and they can be real money makers.   Here are some more reasons why I like to sell flatware on eBay.

  • Easy to find at garage sales, thrift stores or your own home.

How to sell flatware 
I am going to assume that you already know how to sell on eBay so I am just going to cover the main sticking points when it comes to making money on flatware.

Identification -   The hardest part about making money on flatware is the identification portion.   Many flatware sets have identification markings on the back that will help you identify what pattern they are.   When you have that information, head on over to replacements.com and search for your pattern.

It may take a LONG time to sort through the thousands of patterns, or you may find it right away.   Once you find your pattern, I would recommend using as much of the information on replacements.com without just copying the page.    Helpful information such as pattern codes, mfg codes and other identification can be helpful when customers are looking for your flatware.

If you can't find the pattern on replacements.com, you may have a rare pattern.  Try using ebay's completed listings to see if you can find a match there.  Worst case scenario, you have to create your own keywords for your flatware which isn't the end of the world.  Just use descriptive keywords of your flatware's pattern

Slow sellers - The higher prices flatware can take awhile to sell, but for the most part if you price your flatware competitively, you should have no problems selling.

 

Pots & Pans
Pots & pans are another greatly thing you can sell on online.   Here is why I like them these things to sell.
  • Easy to find at garage sales, thrift stores or in your house.
  • Fairly easy to ship
  • Easy to identify
  • Possibility of replacement parts
  • Many discontinued products
  • Easy to tell if they are damaged or broken

How to find profitable pots & pans without knowing the names
When it comes to finding money making pots & pans, it is all about the quality of the cookware.   The easiest thing you can do to know if they are worth selling is to check  how heavy they are.   Heavy = quality, quality = money

Identification - Identifying good pots and pans is fairly easy.  The markings will either be on the bottom of the pan, or on the side.  Here are some terms to look out for.
  • X- PLY   X being a number usually between 2-5.  The higher the better.
  • Surgical stainless steel
  • Made in USA

Small & specialty appliances
Small appliances are another section of our eBay niche that you can make money on.  Here are some of the reasons I like small appliances.

  • Easy to find
  • Fairly easy to ship
  • Nostalgia factor
  • Vintage appliances are just made better
  • Discontinued products are always profitable
  • Possibility of replacement parts
  • Vintage and modern
