New Arrival 12/28/2009

Here we have a 1972 Kenner Toy Co Blythe Doll that is unbelievably new in the box.

Blythe dolls by Kenner have generated immense collector interest in the past few years. Only on the market for one year, in 1972, vintage Blythe dolls are highly prized today.

We estimate the value will be somewhere between $1,000-1,500. Tune in to see what it sells for.

What is it?

What planet did this guy come from? It reminds us of "Lost In Space" or an episode of "The Twilight Zone".

It is actually a Japan Tin Litho Horikawa Rotate-O-Matic Tin Robot manufactured in the mid '60s. This is a neat piece and would make a great addition to that sci-fi or robot collection.

It is currently listed on eBay. It will be interesting to see how it does and what country it sells to. Our guess is $200 and it will sell to Japan. They are a neat piece of toy history and fun to watch in action.

New Listing 12/27/2009

Our highlighted new listing this week is a 1997 Rickenbacker 360 Semi Hollow body Electric Guitar. These are really superb players and equally impressive to look at.

The maple neck has dual truss rods while single-coil pickups deliver everything from clean tone to biting overdrive. Controls include volume and tone via a 3-way selector for each pickup. A master preset allows tone and volume settings to be accessed instantly with a toggle. Stereo output is standard with the Rickenbacker 360. These are sweet guitars - follow our auction and see how it does on eBay.

Dimebag Darrell Krank Amplifier Set

Starting soon we have a Krank Guitar Amplifier Head & Speaker Set designed by Dimebag Darrell. Dimebag or Darrell Abbott was one of the founding members of both Pantera and Damageplan. He was known for playing Dean ML guitars but did use Washburns for a period of time. When it came to amplifiers he was known for using solid-state Randalls for a long time but switched to Kranks shortly before his tragic death. He was a vital part of the Krankenstein series of equipment which the Revolution above was the prototype for.

New Listing 12/6/2009

We are pleased to present this autographed Donald Driver Autographed Green Bay Packers Football. Donald Driver signed the football at a Goodwill event and we have been consigned to sell it.

Donald Driver one of the most inspiring players in the NFL as he grew up homeless, and worked his way to the NFL. Driver showed a special connection with Brett Favre, and was Favre's most reliable receiver from 2002-2007. Known as one of the toughest wide receivers in the game, Driver had the most catches in the NFL in the middle of the field in 2006.

Donald is a great role model and this would make the perfect Christmas gift for that football fan. We are excited to see how this neat piece of sports memorabilia does on eBay.

eBay Selling Tip #2

When listing an item, remember that a great description and photos can cut down on the questions you will receive during an auction. Trying to anticipate the questions when taking the photos and writing the description can help make your job easier when the auction runs. Stating the condition, measurements, disclosing defects and imperfections are helpful.

In addition, clearly state your policies. These include returns, payment instructions, combined shipping, countries you ship to and any other particulars that will help sell your item and connect with that potential buyer somewhere in the world.
