We all know you can find antiques on eBay. It is the place if you are looking for an old R2-D2 PEZ dispenser to match the C3PO you just picked up at a local yard sale. But how do you find a good deal? One of the best ways to find a deal is by finding the wrong ads. By that I mean the ads that are listed in the wrong category, by the wrong name or spelled the wrong way, etc. You get the idea.
So often someone will find an old doll when cleaning out grandma’s attic and not know that it is a one of a kind by a famous artist. In a hurry to clear out some space, they list am item worth hundreds of dollars for $0.99.
There is always the guy selling the antique Jon Deer Ten that’s not selling for as much as the John Deere Tin you just saw.
One of the best is the seller of little knowledge. Often a seller has an item they know nothing about, but is exactly what you are looking for to complete your collection.
Be sure to check items and descriptions when searching and with a little patience you’ll find the wrong ad that’s just right for you!
