Ideas for Items to Sell for Profit

• If you are looking for items to sell to make some extra profit, look through your personable belongings to see if there are any items you are no longer using. According to eBay Pulse, some of the most popular searches include electronics, designer handbags and collectible items. Even though you may not know it, you could be holding on to items that people are willing to pay for.

Cell Phones

• Cellular phones are some of the most popular items that people are looking to purchase online, according to eBay pulse. People often want to purchase new cell phones without the contract, so if you have any cell phones lying around your home, consider selling them for a profit. While the most popular cell phones are the iPhone, Verizon models and the BlackBerry phone, put your old phones up for sale because some people may be looking for your specific cellular device.

Designer Handbags

• Designer handbags can be very profitable, especially older models that considered vintage handbags. If you have a collection of handbags in your closet that you never use anymore, you can put the handbags up for sale and make a profit. While some of the bags will sell for lesser prices, rarely used, larger designer handbags can sell for a few hundred dollars.

Collectibles

• Collectibles are popular sales items, especially for people who have larger collections at home. They might be looking for specific pieces for their collection and you might have that piece in your attic or basement. Collectibles can include figurines, stamps or sports cards such as hockey, baseball or football player cards.

Gaming Consuls

• According to eBay Pulse, video gaming consuls are popular items. Gaming consuls include the Nintendo systems such Wii, XBOX, N64 and Super Nintendo, and PlayStation consuls, like the original, PS2 and PS3. If you have a video gaming consul along with some controllers and games, you can make a profit selling these items, either as separate pieces or as a combined package.
