    Odd Items

    Went and sold on E bay for the first time, not many can say they got 10 bucks for their old socks Cleaning up one place I found a pair of socks in a box, some sort of fancy men's socks from the 50's, just threw them on a shelf. Cleaning up decided to put them on ebay, got 10 + 15.00 shipping.

    So now I'm watching more for other items while out on jobs, just never know

    Mine is not off the wall like that but I got a dishwasher and pulled the door springs off it and got $8 for them. I figured they would have to get relisted a couple time.

    Worse...unopened vintage 70's sanitary belts.

    Had them in my hand to trash them...thought "here's one item that I bet doesn't sell on ebay".

    Wrong again...got over $50 for the lot of three.

    Ok...I had no idea what a "sanitary belt" was. Google sent me to the Museum of Menstration (mum.org)
    Thanks a lot there Curbside Shopper

    a couple of years ago some one posted finding an old sex toy and asked if we thought it was ok to sell it.

    "anyone who thinks scrappin is easy money ain't doin it right!"
