We love to sell art on eBay. First, it's just fun to do. But more important is that most people overlook art at yard sales, flea markets, estate sales and thrift stores. As a regular buyer, who has room on their walls? And other scavengers probably are thinking, "I don't want to store and pack that no matter what the price." We love the overlooked piles. We enjoy the challenge.

In this episode, we share our very generous definition of what art is: needlepoints, prints, lithographs, etchings, charcoal drawings, sketches, drawings, wood burnings, as well as watercolors and real oil/acrylic paintings. It doesn't have to be signed or dated (but it's nice if it is). The art just has to look cool. If you think a piece of art looks cool, someone else will.

Just look at the prices that Ikea charges for reproduction artwork http://goo.gl/Z3H4u5. This is why people decorating their apartments will gladly pay for oneofkind needlepoint from the 1970's. We often buy these for $1 and sell for $40+. We'll also invest $50 in nicer framed art to sell for $200+.

Don't worry about packing, just watch our video on how to pack art in a glass frame    • Scavenger Life: How To Pack Delicate ...  . Let us know in the comments your experience buying and selling art.

We live in rural America, and we are Scavengers especially when it comes to making money on eBay by selling items we find in or near the waste stream, at auctions, yard sales and thrift stores. This allows us to avoid full time jobs, which gives us more time to scavenge and enjoy our lives. It's a positive reinforcing cycle.

We are eBay Top Rated + Power Sellers. Each week we post a couple 1 hour long podcasts sharing stories about our eBay selling. We welcome all questions and stories of your own eBay experiences. Sharing helps make us all better Scavengers. Call us now! 540 407 8486
