The five most expensive items ever soldon eBay are:
1. Grumman Gulfstream Jet ($4.9 million)
2. 1909 Honus Wagner Baseball Card ($1.65 million)
3. Diamond Lake Resort-Western Kentucky ($1.2 million)
4. Shoesless Joe Jackson's "Black Betsy" Baseball Card.
5. Round of Golf with Tiger Woods ($425,000)
So, when you look at the figures, two are collector's items, and one could feasibly be considered a collector's item (the jet, not the round of golf). This bring us to the undeniable fact that collector's items sell best on eBay. Now it's also down to discretion as to what should be sold on eBay, and what as to what shouldn't. For instance, if you had something of extreme collector value, like for instance a first appearance issue of an old andpopular comic book charatacter, you may get better results (for example: Action Comics #1, featuring the first appearance of supperman-at an extremly conservative estimate worth at least $200,000 American dollars-will probably go far a lot more if announced to rabid gaggle of collectors). If you had an item of similar rarity, your best bet would be to research the collector's value of the item, then research where to best advertise your sale.
Remember, the more people who get to using eBay, the larger the market becomes. There are other auction sites of similar designs-but they have smaller user bases, and are less likely to show off your items to the maximum amount of viewers.
