Family and eBay

I have a question for all you veterans out there.  I'm sure you all have sold things for your family or friends.  My parents are very excited I am selling on eBay, and have given me a bunch of stuff to offload for them.  I don't mind, they are my parents and do so much for me, listing for them is the least I can do.  However...

How do you break the news to them that their "priceless" collectible isn't really worth anything?!?

My parents are the type that are easily lured by the words "limited edition", and it breaks my heart to tell them that what they paid $50 for 20 years ago was pretty mass produced and there are so many on eBay already that it's only worth $15 today.  I really don't want them to be disappointed!

I hope you all are having a great selling month, even though it's July :)

BOLO Lincoln Logs? Maybe?

So, this is my first time posting a hot item, but this item sold for me within 24 hours.

Lincoln Logs!

I found this set of Lincoln Logs in a bag at Savers for $2 so I picked it up, hoping that someone would purchase it.  It sold at the BIN price of $19.95 within a day!  Nothing better than waking up to that notification on my phone! Well, maybe it would have been better if I had heard the ka-ching sound... I do love that sound :) My husband said it would sell fast because the little pieces that I have so many of and the ones with a flat side are hard to come by, there aren't too many that come with the set.  He was right, and this is one of the only times I'm OK with him saying, "I told ya so!"

Hope July is going great for everybody!  Have a fantastic week!
