As I survey my list, it is noteworthy that four of the five items were toys and three of those toys were Lego and without further ado, here are the five best eBay sales from my eBay store in 2024.
LEGO CREATOR EXPERT MINI COOPER SET 10242
Cars have proven to be extremely popular Lego sets. They are interesting when they are released but continue to be of interest when they are retired. Who buys them, especially after they are retired? Anyone who owns or owned one of those cars or someone who collects Lego cars. This set, the Creator Expert Mini Cooper is set number 10242. It is a fairly large set, is recommended for individuals aged 16 and over and has 1077 pieces.
While mine was sold last year, you can still find Lego's Mini Cooper set here on eBay.
I hope you enjoyed this peek into my best sales of 2024. If you would like to see more, please check out my eBay store!

NORSCOT SKYJACK SCISSOR LIFT MODEL TOY
Here's a toy I almost did not pick up but I am glad that I did. This piece likely appealed to someone who works with a scissor lift or with the company, Norscot. When I check eBay today, there are none available though I do see a couple that have sold in the recent past so they obviously become available from time to time. There are, however, plenty of other Norscot construction equipment model toys available on eBay by clicking here. If you are looking for this exact model, just add the words Scissor Lift when you arrive on eBay.LEGO BATMAN MOVIE BATCAVE BREAK-IN SET 70909
Batman is eternally popular. As a matter of fact, in 2024 CBR.com said that "there have been 10 actors who have portrayed the Caped Crusader in both live-action films and on television, with many more voicing Batman in animated and video game works." No doubt, all those portrayals have contributed to Batman's enduring popularity with many different age groups.
The Batman Movie Batcave Break-in set, number 70909, is a retired set. It was released in 2017 and retired the next year. It contained 1047 pieces and was recommended for ages 8 to 14 though of course it would suit any fan who met the minimum age or who simply wants to display it.
Once again, my set is sold, but you can still find the Lego's Batcave Break-In Batman set here on eBay. If you only want to look at new sets, just add the word new to your search when you arrive on eBay.
------------------------------------------------------------BIRKS STERLING SILVER LONG-STEMMED ROSE
Next up is the only item that is not a toy though it could be argued that the scissor lift is a model and not a toy. Anyway, I was delighted by this find that was produced by the famous jeweler, Birks and crafted from sterling silver. The lady who purchased it was also delighted. She loved the idea of having a rose that was everlasting. It was a rare find and I see no other like it on eBay. However, I did find some other interesting Birks sterling silver floral items here.
LEGO STAR WARS WATTO BLUE MINIFIGURE
Yes, this is my fifth highest sale from 2024. It is another Lego item though this time a single minifigure rather than a complete set. Watto is from a 442-piece Star Wars-themed set from 2001 called Watto's Junkyard, set number 7186. If you don't already know, you might be interested to discover that some Lego minifigures are highly collectible and this definitely is one of them. Watto is so valuable that even bits and pieces of him sell for a good price. Visit this link to see what the Lego Star Wars' Watto minifigures are commanding right now on eBay.

It is always so interesting to see what is popular on Ebay. I'm not surprised that Lego sets are so popular. They are popular everywhere, but the retired sets or hard to find sets like you offer are especially high on the lists of Lego enthusiasts. Ebay rocks! It is my favorite place to shop for the unusual or hard to find items.
ReplyDeleteEbay has long been an interesting site for finding vintage and/or hard to find items. And you always seem to find some of the most interesting items. Love your series of 'what sold on eBay', as it always turns out to be so much fun to see what buyers are seeking.
ReplyDeleteIt’s interesting that toys and models are so popular on eBay. I guess it’s because so many people collect them. That silver rose is so special!
