Selling Items based on Cartoon Characters



Hello fellow blog readers! Im sorry I have not posted much over the last few weeks , we had our busiest (and most successful) month since we started selling on eBay! We sold over $3450 in merchandise for the month of November! You can do that and more, just poke around our blog for ideas and contact us if you need some help getting started. My wife is an educational specialist but we also offer consulting as needed to people not in our area! Her email is cadamoct@aol.com (Cheryl).

Today's post is on items based on Cartoon characters. These are always popular and if you find ones that are from the 1980s or earlier you usually have a great item to sell! Here are some pictures of Pitiful Pearl ! Now I had not heard of Pitiful Pearl, but from the minute I saw her, I knew she would be a hit. She is based on a cartoon character of the same name and is just the cutest thing. Started at just 99 cents she is already up to $75 or so and might be headed higher.

So keep your eyes out for products inspired by Cartoon characters. From Looney Tunes, to Voltron and Transformer robots , to early Cartoons like Popeye!

UPDATE - This item was purchased by someone with an amazing story to tell! She had been poor when in her younger years and use to make her older brother walk her by the store window where Pearl was. All these years she wanted one, but they always were beyond her grasp. Even in bidding on a few on Ebay , she could never get the top price until now! Finally her doll is hers 30 plus years later!
