Items You Should NEVER Sell on Ebay & Our Latest Scores

[@wandaarnold7395]

I think that one brooch is a wish bone and not made to look like a horse shoe. Reason why I say is because I bought one years ago called a wishbone brooch.

[@luckylinnie]

I agree it’s a wishbone. It’s pretty!

[@nettiecarr5146]

Yes a wish bone

[@loisruthstrom8143]

That was an old tradition in my family. When we were kids, every time we had a turkey or chicken, the wishbone was saved so one of us could make a wish (if we we're lucky). 🦃🐔

[@darlenestokes2507]

I love watching Rusty ~~ he often calls things by the wrong name. I'll sit here and laugh thinking "Dang, Rusty you know what that is!!!" LOL !!!

[@melodieknaup2882]

I was thinking the same thing. Just yesterday I was shopping and seen a brooch half sticking out of a bowl full of other brooches and thought it was a horseshoe in which I love to wear playing poker. Pulled it out and seen the tail end of it so then I concluded it was not a horseshoe but rather a wishbone so I was sad and put it back. When rusty said horseshoe on his video here I thought, oh no! So thank you for the comment. I thought again for a min I was wrong. But even rusty makes mistakes too. I will add, I'm not sure if one is luckier than the other. Now I'm rethinking the whole idea of horseshoes to bring good cards!!! So mabye I should have bought the wishbone and tried out a hand or two to see how it goes!!!

[@Erin-lm5lq]

As a former purchaser of pierced earrings back in the day, I'd buy "solid gold post" earrings so my ears wouldn't become infected. That was a selling feature back then ('60s and '70s). Hope this helps you trust your eyes: the posts only are gold.

[@hiddenpixie4579]

I think people buy the glasses for the frames not intending to match the prescription. The numbers refer to the dimensions of the frames.

[@skilgore9579]

The posts on earrings many times are 14K gold when the rest of the earring is not. This is because of the allergy problem many people have with lesser alloy type posts. It would turn the earlobe green and/ or get infected. So those earrings that you’ve purchased that the post says 14 karat gold, the post is probably 14 karat, even if the rest of the earring may not be..

[@StaceNyourFace]

Rusty, I really admire your sensitivity towards endangered species and minority groups. ❤

[@muskateer12345]

Whites caring about “minorities” when they themselves are the smallest minority in the entire world is truly pathetic

[@kimbercafe11]

Hi Rusty! The group of 3 numbers on the eyeglasses doesnt refer to the prescription, it's frame measurements in mm. Left to right the numbers are lens width, bridge width, and the distance from the hinge screw to the ear tip. Any additional info is usually model and color number of the frame. Hope that helps♡

[@kajnadams]

Thank you so much Rusty! I really appreciate all the info you always share so freely! My cautionary tale: DO NOT ship to Korea....even if insured and tracked, I found out the hard way that the tracking ends once it hits the post office in Korea. Lost $400! UGH!

[@alfonsoalfonso647]

Ebay shut my old account down 2 years ago, and never gave me a reason. I talked to 4 or 5 people, and was told they didn't have to give me a reason. Ebay policies are very draconian and unfair at times.

[@catherinemaas9757]

Great info Rusty. Learned a lot. Too bad E-Bay jumps to conclusions so fast and doesn’t give the seller a chance to explain before they are completely removed.

[@madelynl.5351]

I just discovered your channel, and have liked and subbed. Thanks! I’m 74. When I was 16 I visited my “rich Aunt” who lived in Long Island NY. She had a treasure trove of beautiful collectable items in her home. She showed me her netsuke (“net ski”) collection of exquisitely carved figures. This must have been before ivory was banned, because she never even mentioned that they were made of carved ivory. Her home was filled with the most beautiful sculpture and other items. She was way ahead of her times! Those two netsuke pieces you have are quite beautiful. You may want to consider donating them to a museum, although I do not know what types of restrictions museums must comply with. At least you would get a tax writeoff! EBay sounds like it’s more trouble than it’s worth. There are many other sites out there now. But you have probably invested a lot of time in set up, which makes it hard to move on. At any rate, I am enjoying your videos and glad to have discovered you. Check out “Curiosity Inc.” for a similar site to yours but in Canada. Once again, cheers and thanks.

[@MaryAnnBelcher-McMahon]

Just wanted to say learning so much from you ( especially about eye glasses) but the horse shoe shape you were referring to is called a “wishbone “ shape. We can all learn from each other

[@wildhorseraces]

Horse shoe is wish bone. U must have never had horses!!! I appreciate your videos! So educational. Love it!!! Im subscribing now!!

[@WhiskeyBonfire]

Those “fake pearl” earrings on the Japan clip on earring back are really just someone has used the more expensive clip on component to upcycle some jewelry. The white stones look like snow quartz and the blue ones look luster cobalt beads with “gold tone” bead caps. They used wire to wrap onto earring backs. 😊 PS the stone name you were looking for was hematite 😅

[@kathywiseman7944]

Also check the policy for glasses. I heard if they have a prescription the lenses must be removed.

[@edgecitytraders5498]

That is correct. Prescription items cannot be sold on eBay. Remove the lenses and/or put “FRAMES ONLY” in the title.

[@bluebelle9572]

Can the lenses be included in the package with the frames after being removed? Just included as a ‘freebie’

[@RavenMaddPromo]

@@bluebelle9572 I don’t think you can. I remove the lenses and make sure to note frame only in the title in the hope of not causing an unwanted problem.

[@jackiesicilian5720]

EBay should come up with some sort of arbitration group that can review the items and actually give the person a chance to explain it doesn't seem quite fair and it's a little scary.

[@deb7518]

I once got in temporarily blocked on Ebay because a customer had sent me a msg with a question about my item, but he had accidentally sent the same question twice. For some reason I only saw one question, which I answered once, but Ebay fussed at me for "not responding to a customer's question in a timely manner" because I'd never responded to the duplicate question. That was the end of my short-lived Ebay selling career. I figured I wouldn't have time to monitor messages closely enough to protect myself from their drama, so I backed off.

[@tiggerpatchvintage1826]

Actually eBay pulled a couple of my items off because and I quote " We have to protect our site for others even if it just looks like ivory." I questioned this as I tested each item prior to listing. I was told "we can't trust a sellers testing" Basically eBay decided sellers are ignorant and liars. thats what the all great eBay thinks of its sellers.

Regarding the red aurora borealis brooch, the long pointed stones are called 'marquise' cut, baguettes are also long but square-ended.

[@dianapearce6642]

Exactly what happened to me. My item was not ivory but they would not listen to me and I had been on ebay for 18 years and never had an item taken down. I am also restricted for life for the same words you said plus the word Victorian. My item had nothing to do with Victorian. I couldn't even put vintage, I now can use vintage but still none of the others. So unfair.

Rusty I live in Ireland and I have a brooch made by Marker and the same clip on earrings and necklace also but it’s broken. Is it a decent piece? Hopefully you will see this and answer as I don’t know what to do to get it valued. I love your channel keep doing what you are doing, it’s educational and enjoyable all the time

[@joycleckley2881]

Sir, not a horseshoe but a wishbone from the 1960's, very beautiful. The circular, mum looking pin with the freshwater fake pearl is actually called a cabashon. The shape is a dead giveway. Large, round, half a basketball so to speak. Great haul tho......💚 btw, Sarah Coventry was made in the 1970's and 1980'S, using real stones, gemstones, crystals. Quite lovely pieces, not dime store junk for sho. My mother was a dealer of SC back when a hostess had a home party, depending on the amount of sales, the hostess then was able to pick from beautiful pieces.

Cuzin’ the posts are likely 14K on the earrings, just not the rest. I see that a lot on Amazon with sterling silver in the name but it’s just the posts that are sterling, not the earring.

[@marlalane8198]

The one you called a horse shoe was a wishbone design. Theone with the stones that you said are not baguette stones, they are Marquise shaped stones. And the pronunciation of Givenchy is "gee von shay". I hope this helped you. They were all pretty piece's

Hey Rusty. Just curious to your location. I saw you wearing a Black Mountain t shirt. Is this near Asheville, NC?. I was born and raised in Canton,NC. Moved to Georgis 2 1/2 years ago upon retiring from my Job in Asheville.

[@sambetta21]

great video. I was wondering about knives as I have my mom's old girls scout knife. so you answered my thoughts before I even asked. Wow I had no idea of all the items . I haven't decided where I want to sell as yet . I started on the marketplace but only for a couple weeks I think it would be easier to pay a monthly subscription and post for a longer time instead of having to relist every week. ugh any suggestions. . Maybe Im to old to have started this.

[@crystalwaters7081]

EBay has gone crazyI I would have told them about the first item not being ivory which seemed to have started all that. I have started selling on Etsy. So much less crazy! Plus the fees are way more reasonable! 👍🔥😀

On the earrings could it be that the just the part that goes through your ears 14 karat and the rest is not?

Test the ear piece on those 14K gold. That's the piece that is marked and will make a difference in the saleability as some can only wear gold.

The Ray Bans You are looking at the RB Code Google the RB Code and it will give you the exact model, then the size 52-17-130 for example means the glasses are 52mm, so you have 52 Milimater Ray Ban Wayfarer frames for example.

Yo. At about 9min in, you showed a pin you referenced as a horse show. Close, but not a horse shoe. It is an english riding spur.

Insane that they can limit you from selling antiques, something old, vintage & so on. That basically closes your shop.
