Reply #20: Buy and sell things you know about. [View All]

[Speck Tater]

Trying to sell stuff you don't really understand is a recipe for disaster. Stick with things you're familiar with, or are willing to spend time getting familiar with.

For me it's books because I am a life-long book buyer/collector and once owned a used/rare bookstore myself. For me to trade in something like antique dolls would be crazy no matter how much money others might be making in that field. Knowing nothing about antique dolls, I'd be eaten alive by the people who really know the subject.
