I am often very happily amazed by the things I am able to sell on Ebay. I once sold a very old roll of wall paper that must have been from the 60's or 70's. It was a bright orange and yellow floral print. I can't remember what it sold for but I do remember it was a very nice profit. What was the oddest, weirdest, strangest thing you have sold so far on Ebay?

How funny you should say this - that wall paper you have a picture posted here - that is rather exactly like the wall paper my mom put in the kitchen in our home in the early 70's! I say nearly exactly as ours didn't have quite as much orange in it, but the same basic colors and style! Oh, what a memory!!!

Wow, I think that is why some of the strange things that sell on Ebay get sold. I bought a cookie jar that I remember from my childhood. I keep it in a cabinet but, when I need to feel those memories I take it out and just look at it. It makes me feel good. I think we all want to surround ourselves with thingws that make us feel good. Especially when we are having a challenging day.

I found at a yard sale a small clay garden figurine that was exactly like one my mom had when I was a teenager and she had it outside by her lily pond. So I grabbed it! My daughter thought I was nuts, but she didn't undestand! No, it isnot a favorite thing of mine, but the memory it delivers sure is!

To date the oddest thing I have sold on eBay has to be a flag I had been given years ago. It was an American flag with a Native American on it and as I no longer needed to keep so much stuff I decided to try and sell it. I was absolutely shocked at the amount it went for too

its not amaizng that you managed to earn profit from that old wallpaper because old is always gold. I had once sold a book for 10$ which i bought it for only .25$ i didn't believed that it would sell for that much.But i think luck was with me or maybe that book was really precious.
