eBay up for Auction - 2 Night Stay at A Christmas Story House

I caught this a little late but this you can win a 2 night stay in the actual house that A Christmas Story was filmed back in 1983. Here is the auction http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200410691264

A Christmas Story items are hot sellers around the holidays especially replicas of the leg lamp from the movie. Keep an eye out for markdowns of these items right before and after Christmas. You can resell these items on eBay throughout the year. I have done this with great success in years past.

Deal of the Day Website for the Month of December '09

There are thousands of websites that offer daily deals usually half off the actual retail price (I sound like Drew Carey on the Price is Right). You probably know the most popular site which is Woot.com. ***I have never really made a great sale on eBay buying from Woot, I usually sell Woot.com items on Amazon for a better profit.***
Most of the time if you compare the deal from these websites with what it is selling for on eBay it's not really worth it especially after the eBay fees are taken out. But I have found some really good deals out there. From now on 1-2 times a month I will showcase a new site that might be worth checking out if you want to make some extra money selling the product on eBay. So you won't have to waste hours checking every site you might want to narrow them down to the ones I feature every month.

Here goes:

whatanitem.com

Just check out today's deal.

Motorola Droid Charging Dock for $15.99 plus $5.00 flat shipping.

This is a great deal. In case you don' know by now the Droid is hot. I have one and I LOVE it. These Charging Docks are selling for up to $59.99 on eBay. I would say the avg. selling price is closer to $49.99, but they are selling. Not many unsold auctions. Check out the completed items here.

Thrift Store Item 2 Sell - Men's Flannel Shirts

This is the perfect time of the year to sell used flannel shirts on eBay. Flannel shirts are not only for the rugged outdoors man anymore, they are also seen on all the trendy people.

Here are the more common brands that you might find at your local thrift store that are worth buying.

• Abercrombie & Fitch
• J Crew
• LL Bean
• Pendleton (very good sellers even if slightly flawed)

Here are two of my most recent completed flannel auctions. I purchased both of these shirts on half price days at the thrift store for $2.50 each.

Good Luck
