Lest you think it was a fluke, I found another one months later and sold it for 30 bucks! But the larger point is this: when looking for inventory, keep in mind what's hot in popular culture at the moment. The Titanic movie was one of the top grossing movies of all time. People went nuts over that flick. It won best picture, the Celine Deon song was played on the radio constantly and it's movie spin-offs such as coffee books and posters were everywhere. Thanks to that movie a whole new generation of Titanic fans were created.
Would I have made $34 dollars on that plastic Titanic prior to the movie's release? Doubtful...it may not have received a single bid. But thanks to Titanic fever, lots of people were typing in the ship's name in their Ebay searches.
If you find one of these little plastic Titanic ships buy it and make a few bucks. Better yet, those "Twilight" movies are doing big box office, maybe look for vampire stuff in the thrift store? Just an idea.....
Pin It now!
