Hey, @glenalbrethsen, buddy! Yeah, I think I mentioned it only briefly quite a while back. I did the ebay stuff for about a year and a half, putting it on pause around February of this year, unfortunately. I am really itching to get going again now that we are settled into the new house, but the thrift stores and garage sales aren't really doing business right now and like I mentioned, I don't feel like putting myself at risk to do it right now.
Well, it's hard to say what was the coolest thing I ever found and sold on ebay, but a few things come to mind. The top one that comes to mind was this small electronic device that I found last year at a thrift store that charges by the pound. This little device had batteries in it and I turned on right there in the store and it seemed to be working fine. I looked it up and the new ones were selling for up to $800. I can't remember the exact brand name of the device now. I could probably dig up the photos, but it was a device used for treating depression. It was an electromagnetic cranial stimulation device. No joke. There are some cords with clamps (which were missing) that clamp to your ears and, if I understood the concept correctly, they send electromagnetic waves through the brain to treat depression. And, the FDA has apparently approved such devices for treatment of mental disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression and insomnia.
Honestly I'm not sure if I should have been selling it on ebay, but I couldn't resist. There were other listings for the exact same device in used condition by regular people like me, so I figured I'd be fine. Since the price at the thrift store was 60 cents per pound for electronics, I got it for like 25 cents or something like that. It sold within about an hour of listing it for $100.
