I collect stuffed bears. I have even made clothing for them, and bought shoes to fit them. :)

WELCOME JORDANALMONDS!

That is so cool about the bears, Almonds. I have a couple of teddy bears. I think I'll buy them clothes and shoes too! I have a scarecrow I dress on occasion. :D

You would charge shipping and handling fees usually a little above what you think it would cost to send. You don't want to be surprised at extra cost because you miscalculated. Neither do you want the buyer to feel that you are ripping them off. Keep in mind that they will be rating your service and you want to develop a good reputation.Try to get it in the mail as soon as possible. Some buyers like to have things sent priority mail others will go for media mail. You can let them choose and charge accordingly.
If you sell tapes or cds then you will probably want to package them in bubble envelopes to protect them during shipping. This will make the handling charge a little more.
Some people check for selling prices on old books and other collectibles then look for those things at yard sales and flea markets where they might be selling for very cheap prices. The university here recently had a college class given that was devoted to teaching people how to recognize valuable 45 & 78 rpm records. They are all over the flea markets here. I just don't have the time to devote to this sort of thing, but I guess there are all kinds of things that you can make money on if you want to spend the time looking.
