Ebay Home Runs What Keeps Me Running!

We all need those special scores in order to keep the adrenaline pumping and keep the thrill of the hunt alive. It also makes it exciting to hear about what has been a "home run" for someone else. What we call a home run in the business, is something that we have found in the field and purchased then resold for a good price!

Needless to say, home runs don't come along everyday. It would be wonderful if they did!   However, if that  was the case then hunting new things would become routine after a while. This way "home runs" or "scores" are still what makes a treasure hunter get out of bed every morning and hunt!

So I am going to share a few of my home runs with you as I know how much fun these are!  I am going to try to do a home run posting at least once a week and would love to hear others home runs as well. I will put information on how to get your home runs published below.

One of my recent home runs is when I researched I found to be very highly sought after by collectors. Harley Davidson merchandise, especially vintage Harley Davidson merchandise is usually sought out by collectors. There are a lot of Harley Davidson collectors out there as well!  Harley items will bring in good money if you find it in good condition. This even includes the tee shirts! 

I found a vintage 1988 Harley Davidson pewter belt buckle in excellent condition at an auction a while back and placed it for sale on Ebay.   I have included a picture of it above. It sold very quickly for $100.00.   I was thrilled! I definitely call this one a home run!  If you want to see more treasures like this, come visit my store, Kim's Kreations & Rare Finds!

So tell me about your home runs! Send me your information with your closed listing and I will include them in my next home run blog post! I want to hear all about them. Lets share the wealth! 

MidCentury Modern Is Sizzling Hot Right Now A Pickers Paradise!

Knowing what to pick is half the battle for a modern day treasure hunter on the prowl. Learning which themes and styles are desired are a must for anyone who wants to be a "picker" is a must! Midcentury modern style is a big seller today. If you don't know what midcentury modern is, google it!

In a nutshell, the sleek styles from the 50's and 60's that have that different look are being picked up by collectors today at fabulous prices. Things that really tend to sell well are Danish items especially those made of wood.

Lamps from that era are another good seller. Things that are made of chrome and brass with nice lines never tend to go out of style. People tend to always like shiny things and most well made metal lamps tend to hold up well.

Here is an example of a midcentury modern banker's style brass table lamp that I picked up recently. As you can see it has the vintage green glass shade with the chain pull that collectors are looking for. It is up for sale in my Ebay store right now. Give it a look!

Another type of lamp that is hot with collectors now are the antique and vintage phone lamps. Most of these are actual working phones that were repurposed and made into table lamps. Who doesn't love those old phones that we grew up with? They make us reminiscent of childhood and of a simpler, sometimes happier time! I distinctly remember being a teenager telling my friends all my secrets while listening on the phone for the little old ladies who lived next door making sure they didn't pick up on the line. We had a party line back in the day and I didn't want the whole neighborhood knowing my business!

Take a look at the great phone lamp that I found recently. It is definitely a one of a kind! I have it in my Ebay store now and I am sure that it will be making it to its new home soon! These are just examples of the fantastic treasures you can find if you are a picker in the know and keep a good eye out there for those finds!
