ViewMaster Reels

Bought: $2.25 Sold: $33.32 Fees: $4.24 Profit: $26.83

During my research on what vintage toys sell, I stumbled upon a number of blogs mentioning that ViewMasters and their reels were collectible. The older the better. The red Viewmaster you had in the 80's or 90's isn't worth much, but the viewer from the 60's or 70's is. That being said, when I came upon four sets of reels still in box for $1.99 at VV, I knew it was an instant flip. I debated between listing them individually or as a lot, but since none of these four appeared to be any more collectible than the others, I made it a lot - mainly to save on shipping. It was up for about a week before it sold, which isn't too bad for a collectible item that needs to find the right buyer.

I managed to snag another ViewMaster lot yesterday at VV, that I am going to have posted to eBay in the next few days, and after this sale it has me even more hopeful for a good ROI.
