Any regular Ebayers here?

Has anyone started a collection from eBay? I've collected a lot of things re; Parramatta Eels. Looking for a new hobby and maybe something that will increase in price over the years. Any suggestions?

  • Haha Shares can crash! I guess Ebay is more about a hobby. I might purchase some Jewish gold coins or something.
  • A paper clip goes a long way apparently...
  • I collect heaps of things, all of them going up in value, i love ebay, i get about 20 packages a month.

    I collect German ww1 and ww2 memorabilia, the real stuff is pretty rare and illegal on ebay, but i use dealers in England and europe, German and Nazi memorabilia is where the money is at, if you have good dealers your on a winner, but theres 20000 fakes for every 1 real item, hitler youth items are going up 100% every few years, the more obscure the items the better, Nazi items are a money tree and the hottest war memorabilia you can buy, it is banned in many countries but still traded.

    Vintage and modern Dive watches, ebay is a great place to buy, sell and make a profit.

    Vintage Kenner star wars toys and vintage action figures, prototypes and first shots, huge money involved and i get to relive my childhood through it not that i had many toys as a kid.

    Vintage skateboard decks, Powell Peralta, Alva, Hosoi, Santa monica airlines, Sims etc, good money in it and a great connection to your youth.

    The thing to do is slip is find something that you are passionate about, if your not passionate about its not really worth doing.

    • Thanks snake. The other day I saw an original WW2 slave labour identification booklets for a polish female. It had her finger prints and Nazi stamps. I did purchase it cause I am interested in the second world war. Not sure if the interest will grow into a hobby like my Parramatta Eels collection though. I've seen Polish world war 2 medals too. Are you saying the Nazi's are more valuable than the allies? I read the other day Jews in Adelaide were upset about Nazi memorabilia being sold, but I guess if its historical and rare its going to be valuable.
    • Wow... I can identify with a few things on here Snake.

      * I got rid of all my Star Wars figures in a garage sale as a teenager - still kick myself to this day. Reckon I had around 100 or more.

      * I have an original Hitler Youth knife that the old man brought back from the war - the blade is starting to decay a little - red diamond on the handle that used to have the swastika but it's worn off now. You can still just make out "Blut und Ehre" (Blood and Honour) on the blade though. Still damn sharp and oh so nicely balanced.

      * 80's skateboards - man, that was my life. It was all I did. Had a 8' high half pipe at home for years that we rode just about every single day. All I did was skate. Still ride my PP Lance Mountain now at age 41 - my kids and the other kids on the street look at me weird when I ride it - "what's that old board... looks crappy" - usually it is met with a response like "shutup turd, it's a real board - not this pretend crap you get around on". I'll never get rid of the Lance. Couple of Ozi boards as well, couple of other Powell decks and a couple of Deathbox boards too - one owned and signed by Tommy Inouye. I'll get my hands on NOS bones Brigade decks when I have the cash one day - Hawk, McGill, Caballero, Guerrero and Mullen. The recent doco was a great flick...

  • Gemstones. I have a collection that has sky rocketed in price over the past few years.

    • Nice. I guess there along the lines of coins and gold.
  • Forgot to add, murder memorabilia is always hot, i used to buy a bit, but most of it is not on ebay, if you can get you hands on letters or personal effects from guys like John Wayne Gacy, Richard Ramirez, Jeff Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Robert Pickton, Manson, your on a gold mine..

    • Lol Ted Bundy! Isn't he the guy who cut people up and put them in the fridge? Do you get a certificate of authenticity with that. Lol
  • Yep you get COO's with most things you buy, but without a history that links the item often the COO's are worthless, if you get them from a top shelf respected dealer thats well known in the industry thats a good first step.
