    I think asking people to share their best lines is optimistic, but Rainy's answer's a good way to go. So what do I buy? Excluding charity items, packaging, craft materials, books and toys.

    Unusual items go in quick order. Had bids on some church altar cloths within an hour of listing. A big cloth doll wearing prairie clothes went quick too. Older BBQ books go fast and always to Australia for some reason.

    I think the key may be variety. If you only list one very specilised item, then the only people interested will be those after that specific thing.

    If on the other hand you have all sorts of bits' and bobs, chances are that a collector will find one thing, then maybe browse around your unrelated listings.

    Just a guess. But from the items I've sold, that seems to be the only connection.


    For those who aren't fussy about filtering what I sell - Take a look at ALL my stuff above. - But for more specific listings, take a peek in the stores below.

    TOY-PALLOI - For all sorts of traditional playthings!

    THE PAPERBOYS PLEASURE - For Books & Magazines

    OUT ON THE FLOOR - For Records - (mainly 1950's - 60's)

    VIEWPOINT - Photographic Equipment

    THE SCRAPYARD - Spare parts for old cars and bikes

    Agree. Just like real stores. Fewer people go to small specialty coffee stores, when they can shop at multiplex for the coffee plus veggies, paint, homegoods, crafts, prescription medicine, makeup, car parts, clothes, and pick up a roasted chicken and dry cleaning to take home.

    Speciality store/seller. has harder time drawing in people who will buy. Maybe one person in 1000 needs what they are selling. But with the multiplex, 999 people out of 1000 need something they are selling because of their huge variety.

    Things that are well presented, priced and pimped (on the pimp thread)
    So that's PPP
