Christmas ornaments and holiday plates are super-hot sellers on eBay right now


As you’re starting to get your home ready for this holiday season, digging through boxes of old decorations you’ve had packed away in your attic or basement, you may find that there are some things you just don’t put out anymore. Maybe the children have grown, or you’ve recently moved to a home with a new style, or maybe you’ve moved in with someone else — it could be time for a change.

It’s a great time to post some of your old holiday décor on eBay! Christmas ornaments and holiday plates are super-hot sellers right now.

Look for decorations that have a potential to offer the best return on your time in photographing and listing. Many of these things are likely to be vintage or collectible. Pick out items that may remind others of their childhood times. Remember those funky lighted color wheels people used to shine on aluminum trees? Ornaments and decorations with a theme, such as Precious Moments, Snow Babies, or ornaments related to an occupation can also be popular.

Get ‘em online ASAP, and...

In the spirit of the season, you’ll definitely want to be sure you are timely with your packing & shipping.
