Title: Used Postcards, Ticket Stubs, Etc..
Post by: luke on December 28, 2013, 01:52:54 AM

I was looking up where a person lived from a locker I bought, because they had some post cards addressed to them that they saved..

I had eBay up on my other monitor, and I decided to type in "Grand Cayman Postcard" and selected Used, sold listings.

And they apparently sell for a few dollars... Same with used concert tickets and events tickets..

I never thought to even look those up, normally just toss that stuff out.

I wouldn't change a thing you were originally doing, save the hour of effort in your life for the profit of a dollar. After you subtract ebay fees, paypal fees, shipping, and all the time/effort that goes into taking pictures and listing an item...what are you left with? Four quarters?

Depends on the type, subject matter, and age of the post card. If it's a post card with a car theme, good. Halloween post cards are hot now, as are hidden image post cards. If you pick up a post card with just people at the beach or something, not so good. Buildings that have since been demolished can fetch a pretty penny too.

I bought a 6" stack of old Post Cards at an auction for $3 a while back.
Didn't know exactly which would sell - but did a little research.
Took photos and posted around 50 of them. 
I had two go for over $20 each and probably a total  of $200 on the bunch.  I repost the remainder whenever I have a free listing special.
Yea - some sold for only $2.00 but you never know which one will take off.
