High Average Sale Price Items Selling on eBay Right Now

Flippedit Jun 18, 2026 4 min read Watch on YouTube

Two sales overnight: a Pioneer CDJ 400 bought at Cash Converters for about $150, sold for $350. A flea-market troll doll sold for $215. Call it $550 in while Matt was asleep.

That is not a once-a-year fluke if the store is built around high average sale price and research before the buy.

The month those sales sat in

From Flippedit, mid-June in the video (first 18 days):

  • Revenue $5,872
  • Expenses $3,300
  • Margin 43%
  • Profit $2,523 on 72 items: about $35 true profit per sale
  • Cost of goods on those solds: $1,600
  • eBay fees $815, postage $846

90-day store health in the same clip:

  • STR 90.4% against a 90% target
  • ASP $55 on the 90-day window, $81 on those 18 days
  • Zero stale inventory (everything refreshed on a new item number by 60 days)

He was also $1,000 short of a $60,000 annual profit goal with 12 days of the Australian financial year left, on $128,000 revenue versus a $120,000 target (about $10,000 a month). Those are his numbers, not a benchmark you have to copy. The pattern to copy is ASP + STR, not the headline revenue.

What actually sold (high to low)

These are items from that month, not a shopping list you should bid up tomorrow. Comps move. The lesson is the shape: researched, usually $150+, often from a pick or a pawn shop.

  • Panasonic DMR-BWT955 Blu-ray recorder: sold $450, 9 days, cost $41.67 from a $1,000 / 24-item pick. About $342 profit.
  • Pioneer DJM-400 Limited mixer: Cash Converters $149.50, sold $399 in 36 days, about $172 profit.
  • Pioneer CDJ 400: $149.50, sold $350, about $139 profit, same buying day as the mixer.
  • Nikon Coolpix AW120 (camo): $245.96 on offer, 17 days, $41.67 pick cost, about $169 profit.
  • Troll doll: $7 at a flea market, sold $214, about $158 profit. Longer than 19 days once you count the end-and-sell-similar loops.
  • LG LHCS6231 DVD/VCR combo: $175, 16 days, $41.67 pick cost, about $80 profit. Combo units with a VCR head still get looked for.
  • Yellowstone Blu-ray: JB Hi-Fi buy-one-get-one, $175 sale, $56 average cost. The $1,200 Blu-ray lot still had most units left; Matt's read was on track to roughly double if the rest sold.
  • PS3 + controller + cables: $150 in 3 days, $73 profit. Boring, fast, standard.

The $1,000 Nathan pick (24 items, $41.67 average, $1,800 listed value) had already thrown off solds while 15 items were still live. That is the private-pick math in are private picks worth it.

What to copy (and what not to)

Do not start hunting troll dolls because one sold for $215. Do this instead:

  1. Research in the shop. Leave only when you already know the sold range
  2. Prefer items that can clear $50+ after an Australian satchel
  3. Treat $100+ true profit as a category, not a miracle
  4. Refresh listings before day 60 so "stale" is not your default STR
  5. Track the bulk buy as one lot so a $41 average cost is visible next to a $450 sale

Cheap volume feels productive. It is how you get a 29% month and a sore back. The overnight $350 mixer is the other path.
