What are some things that I can sell on Ebay to make a nice profit? I am a stay at home mom, and I have 4 little boys , my husband works but I would like to make some extra cash to help. Any ideas? What can I sell?

Books can be sold for a decent price. You’d probably get $10-$20 depending on the book/author. If it’s a somewhat rare book it could be sold $50-$70 or even more, depending on the price. If you have toys that your kids don’t want anymore could be sold for $5-$10 bucks depending on how many toys you sell. Jewelry/watches can be sold for some decent money. Like earrings that aren’t worth a lot and you don’t want anymore could be sold for about $20.
Hoped I helped!

Can someone tell me the value of a book written in 1913?

The book author is Bower, the title is The Gringo’s and published by Little Brown Company. The book is in fair condition.

Many older books that seem like they ought to be valuable aren’t. Leather bound classics, in good condition, printed from the 1860s-1930s in the US are worth an average of about $2 – $3 each–if you can find a buyer. For many people finding a box of books in the attic or as part of grandma’s things, owning old books is worth more than you could sell them for.

There are, of course, exceptions, and you should seek your specific book at points of sale like ebay and at abebooks.

Hopefully you still have the dust jacket, in really good condition. If you don’t have the dust jacket, the value of any book declines dramatically.
