Although I sell a lot of misc. stuff, my best category is vintage children's books. Bought a book for a quarter that I figured would go for $40 or $50, and it ended up at $367.00. Several have gone over $100. I agree, though with the person who posted that profit margins are way down on most items. Combine that with the high cost of shipping and it hardly pays to list a lot of things that used to be very profitable. I've been sticking to anything that I can ship media mail and to gently used clothing that can be stuffed into a Priority envelope.

Profit margins are WAAAAAY down so that is why it is best to sell tons of stuff. You still make money but you have to work harder for it. However, that robot e-mail takes a lot of the work away.
