My wife and I (and the kids) lived in houston for a bout 2 years (I don't recommend that) anyway they were shutting the Houston Astrodome down, so we went to the last few games for the houston Astros. they gave away hot wheels that said Astro Dome on them
We sold the two that were Mint in box for $50 each, not bad. here is the funny part:
We sold the one that was opened and had a gummy bear smashed in it for $30....
I wonder if there is a way to estimate accurately how many hundreds of tons of stuff has been kept out of landfills by eBay and Craigslist.

Not enough to offset the metric tons of cheap knock-off Pacific Rim E36 M3 that's all they sell now. Shopping eBay Motors makes me want to shoot out kneecaps.

Things I've sold:
old Alf hand puppet doll from Burger King: $20 lots of odd toys from Burger King and McDonalds: $1-$50 Turbo magazines Import Tuner magazines old Honda Civic tape deck old paper speakers
various posters
Although I have an account to do it, I've never sold anything on eBay. I intend to some day.
I did buy an NYG Neon on it once by accident; I threw out a lowball bid (or so I thought), and ended up with the car anyway, after winning the auction.
Anybody want to buy an NYG Neon?

I think the best thing I have sold on ebay was a Bass Guitar that had a cracked neck. A guy picked it up locally, and I sold it for more than I had originally paid when it was still operational. This thread has me inspired to go post some things on ebay to see what happens.

Don't perfumes go rancid or change scent after long periods?
I saw an ad for a Xbox 360's box. The ad stated that no xbox 360 will be in the box when delivered and that the box was in excellent shape. It was very explicit about what was offered in the sale but if you just glanced over the ad it looked like the actual piece of electronics was going to be inside. That was right when it came out and there was a fevered rush to get your hands on one. It went for some amount more than an actual 360 and it was just the box. I'm guess it was kids bidding on it with daddy's account. It created a lot of buzz. It prayed on the stupid but any person with common sense got a laugh.
