What sells well these days?

I can tell you right now, it's not CDs or comics, the things I used to specialise in!:_|

No surprise that people are not buying CDs, most people download their music now. I have no idea about comics but I suspect that up and coming adults who are reaching an age when they can use ebay will not have subscribed to comics the way we oldies did back in the day when there were no games systems etc and many collectors will be falling off the twig.

I;m not surprised about CDs either

in fact, I have seen 4 op shops this week with signs they are not accepting any more CDs as donations.

the shop I work in gets 4 or 5 cartons a week of CDs,  and we were discussing this over morning tea last week.

seems that CDs are going the way of VHS tapes...  oblivion

Video games sell pretty well and CDs/records do too if they're rare or very popular.

hah! there i was thinking i shouldve collected comics instead of motoring magazines coz over the years ive seen some early edition comics fetch hundreds of dollars each even thousands.

Comics from 50+ years ago (especially the early Marvels) and earlier can be worth heaps -- the first Superman went for two million or so not long ago.

But comics from the last few decades can scarcely be given away.

Anyway, I'm interested I what DOES sell on eBay currently 🙂 Not mega-rarities that are impossible to get, but good reliable items that tick over nicely for a decent profit.

Old CDs make good drink coasters 😄

Cds used to be great sellers but are harder to sell now. I tend to go for stuff that people might collect and think along that line
