What are Picker Fails?

Things you buy with hopes they'll sell, but they turn into duds. 
Only experience teaches you this, so here's mine...

*Vintage scarves…For me, these only sell in lots or groupings

don't be burned by these picker fails — Vintage scarves do not sell very well individually.

*Men’s vintage electric razors….I must have been the only one that thought these old models were pretty cool.

*Beanie babies…probably another 50 years before these are valuable

Update: These finally did sell!

*Decks of cards do not do well for me…they used to sell, but not in a long time. These are vintage airline decks too, but they do not sell well if the box has been opened.

*Industrial brushes….a risky buy that turned into a dud

*Acrylic pen rest set without the pen…just one word for this….DUH

*Model railroad stuff…too much of it on Ebay already

*Handheld Scrabble…just because the big Scrabble game sells doesn’t mean this one will.

*Copper kitchen molds…there are pages & pages of these on Ebay and Etsy.

*Cute dog mug with damaged handle goes nowhere….what, you don’t want a cracked handle? But it’s such a cute mug!

*Vintage Girl Scout vest….I heard these sold, but not for me.

*Books..for me, they are slow sellers.

*Off Brand Perfumes….full name brand perfumes will sell, but not off-brand varieties

*Green stamp books…as soon as someone listed the first set, all the others in the world came out of the woodwork. Now these are useless.

Update: These actually sold to one of my readers

*Knives in knife blocks…I’ve found the best way to sell these is individually.

I have plenty of picker fails, and since I refuse to get rid of even the duds, I still have ’em because cheapskate picker who lives in a Depression Thinking world, does not throw anything away! Experienced & wannabe sellers take note…don’t be burned by these picker fails!
