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.

On eBay.co.uk, the overall category 'Vanity / Perfume / Grooming', breaks into the following main sub-categories, each one forming a perfect niche market with heavy collector interest and lots of eager, top price bidding:

Bridal Shower Invitations Wording Ideas, Wedding Announcements Wording Verses and Sayings for Wedding Invitations Cards

Of all the invitations, announcements and cards that are sent out for weddings, the wording is perhaps the Fleer Ted Williams important. The sayings for these pieces of stationery will set the tone for the event and give guests a good idea as to 1966 Topps baseball cards to expect. The most important pieces of stationery that are sent out need the best verses and this means paying particular attention to bridal shower invitations wording, wedding announcements sayings, wedding shower invitations verses and Batgirl announcements wedding. Bridal invitations wordings can be kept very fun and light, especially if the event is going to be a casual affair, such as a lingerie bridal shower.

Traditional bridal invitation wording could say, "Please join us for a bridal shower in honor of the bride-to-be, Elizabeth Clark," and follow with the details of the shower. Bridal showers can also be casual. For instance, a lingerie wording could say, "Elizabeth is about to Video Games down the aisle; Let's shower her with silk and lace that will make the groom smile." However formal the event, the bridal shower cards sayings needs to be focusing attention on the bride and the theme of the event.

Events such as shower parties also require thank you cards. Thank you card wording should also keep within the theme of the event. If the shower was formal, with formal invitations and perhaps catering, the bridal thank you card wording should reflect that. The bride can generally write whatever she wishes on the inside of the card but the thank you card wording that's printed on the front of the card should say something such as, "I am filled with gratitude for your presence at my bridal shower." For something more casual such as a lingerie shower, the card wording could say, "Thanks for coming to my shower; I'm thrilled that you were there! To start my marriage off right, thanks for the underwear!"

Wedding announcements, elopement announcements and engagement announcements sayings will all be fairly alike. These cards are simply to tell people that you have wed, or that you will be wed. Elopement verses can be much like weddings and does not necessarily need to include the fact that you have eloped. Something such as, "Ms. Elizabeth Clark and Richard Dayton were married on June 30, 2007" would be appropriate.

Rehearsal dinner invitation can be a little bit tricky as many of the guests may not be sure what to expect from the rehearsal dinner. For a formal ceremony, the rehearsal dinner usually means rehearsing the ceremony, with dinner to follow. This rehearsal dinner invitation wording could say, "We request your presence at the rehearsal dinner on June 29th, to rehearse the ceremony with a delicious meal to follow." For a casual wedding there may be no actual rehearsal required so this rehearsal dinner invitation could say, "Let's sit down to eat together before the stress of the big day!"

Whatever stationery you are sending out, the wording is very important. Online retailers and wedding planners can help with unique wording ideas, verses and sayings that will be perfect for any piece of wedding mail you are sending out.
