When selling the crystal pieces be sure to copy the style # and descriptions from the manufacturer's site and include that info in your listing.

If you are trying to figure out the market for your items I would start off with the tagged items (which usually sell quite well) and see how much you can get for them. You may also want to only place items that are currently in season.

It is amazing what people buy and sell on ebay. You can buy pretty much anything. If you are new to selling you may want to get your feet wet selling some smaller lower dollar items to figure out if it is worth your time. Other items to look into selling are books, DVDs, CDs, designer handbags and designer costume jewelry.

One other thing to look into is an ebay consigner. They take a much smaller portion than a traditional consignment shop. The photograph and list your items, collect payment and take a small profit. You may want to list on Craigslist looking for someone to list your items in trade for 10% of the sales price. If your items are high dollar items you may do better that way. Having an experienced person list your items means they have a high feedback ratings which can sometimes lead to higher sales prices.

My parents sell fairly regularly on ebay and for a while were listing rare and high value items for acquaintances in return for a piece of the profits since they had a high positive feedback rating.
