Sell Dressing Table & Bathroom Collectibles On EBay
The best thing about running an eBay business based on products such as we look at today, is the sheer volume of collectible types existing under the overall banner of 'Collectables: Vanity / Perfume / Grooming' in the UK, Video Games 'Collectibles: Vanity, Perfume & Shaving' in the USA.
This is collectibles heaven, you're really spoiled for choice of items to sell, and I don't think I've ever encountered a flea market, auction, or collectors' sale, short of specialist events, which hasn't featured vanity items in at least double or triple figure listing numbers.
Look at the many different collectible product types that follow and choose one to form the basic of a specialist niche business on eBay.
Don't attempt buying and selling everything you read about today, you'll just get confused and never learn much about any of a wide array of generally small collectibles that can fetch unusually high prices on eBay.
Learn the market one step at a time, starting with hat pins, for example, or ornamental hair combs, learn to buy low and sell high, grow expertise in one area and then move to another.
There is overlap between the various categories, on all country sites, but generally speaking, ebay.co.uk and ebay.com are the only sites you'll need to target collectors worldwide for most vanity-related collectibles.
