Actually...

In this post I am going to share a few of the items that have Actually sold in our eBay and Amazon stores. I like haul videos or posts and hearing what others think their items will sell for, but I think it's good to share what items have actually sold for as well.

Here are a few of the things that have sold in the last week at AZ Discount Haus.

I wanted to share these first two items because it gives and idea of what you can be looking for when you're out there picking and maybe a different way of thinking about how some items can be sold.

This bread machine loaf pan came from a bread machine that I got at a Goodwill for $1 and have parted out to sell. There are several parts on these machines that can be sold whether the machine works or not, like this loaf pan. The mixing paddle, drive belt and lid are other parts from bread machines that can be sold. I have found that on average there are about $40 in parts that can be sold. In addition I will salvage the electric motor and other metal to take to the scrap yard for a few extra dollars too. So a $1 bread machine can bring an easy $40 of sellable parts.

Goodwill Hunting

Today is $1 at our local Goodwill's here in the Phoenix area, so we will be heading out to do a little hunting. It's always kinda fun to go out on the hunt for something, you never know what you might find.

Recently there was a man here in Phoenix who bought a watch for $5.99 and you won't believe what he sold it for....
$35,000! Check out the news story here

Well, we haven't found anything that amazing yet. 
Last week on $1 day we did find a 10" Griswold Cast Iron Pan which we listed on eBay and it sold with in two days for $54.99. 

We are hoping for a good hunt today and keeping our eyes open for the unusual, because you never know what you just might find in your local thrift store. Maybe a $35,000 watch.

It's A Start

Just starting a blog to share some of our experiences in the world of thrifting, picking and Goodwill hunting for items to up sell on Amazon, Bonanza and eBay.

Take a look at the other pages on the blog to see some of the things we have to offer in our respective online stores.

 

A common question I'm asked is,
Which of these companies is best to sell on?
The quick answer is, it depends. Some items sell better and for more money than others. Do some research of the item you have to sell on each of the three companies to see which one is best for what you have to sell.

One example of this is with VCR's, yes there is a market for them. A good working used VCR will sell for 20% - 40% more on Amazon than it will on eBay. We pick up VCR's at Goodwill for $3 - $5 or even $1 on dollar day. We then test them, clean them and list on Amazon in a matter of 2 minutes to sell between $50 - $100.
