WHAT SOLD ON EBAY? MY BEST EBAY SALES OF 2024

This is the seventh in my series of What Sold on eBay posts, which reviews my best sales of 2024. It's written as 2025 is well underway but I believe it is interesting, nevertheless and, once again, I am defining best as the highest dollar value sales. If you are curious about what is valuable on eBay, these are the items that performed the best for me last year. 

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.

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.

Baby Yoda (The Child) & The Mandalorian Star Wars Series Reviewed

With the release of "The Mandalorian" on the Disney channel, Star Wars fans have gone crazy over the adorable "Baby Yoda"!

In the The Mandalorian episodes, "Baby Yoda" is simply called "The Child".  After all, he is not Yoda.  He looks like Yoda to fans, therefore he is widely known off-screen as Baby Yoda. 

One look at "The Child", humans & creatures on and off-screen are smitten with his enchanting personality, as well as his looks.  A slight tip of the head is all it takes for "The Child" to have you under his spell.  You, too, will wish to hold and protect him!

Star Wars:  The Mandalorian Series

 Star Wars The Mandalorian Poster BookCheck PriceMandalorians are an elite group of trained warriors who never reveal their own identity.  In the series, "The Mandalorian" is a bounty hunter for hire.  When a bounty hunter is commissioned to track, find, and capture a target, opinions of the target are not his concern.  However, when the Mandalorian sees the child, he doesn't have a clue about his species and wonders about his clients intent for this youngster.  As the story progresses, what becomes obvious to him is that "The Child" needs protection from his client.

To break the Guild code of conduct and steal the child in order to protect him, the Mandalorian must choose a lone existence, which makes him the hunted as well.

At times, he finds aid from friends, as well as a few who don't mind alliances as long as they are paid.  But every step alone this protective path has dangers.  The Child is fortunate to have a true warrior by his side and the Mandalorian finds out just how fortunate he is to have The Child by his side.

This is a fabulous Star Wars series that I highly recommend!  As a matter of fact, just reviewing it makes me wish to stop and watch it again.  I can hardly wait for season 2.  Beware though, "The Child" will steal your heart!

Available to watch now on Disney Plus.

Top Three Group Costume Ideas for Halloween

Let's review some group costumes ideas that I know you'll love.   Group costumes can be a great idea for Halloween or indeed any fancy dress occasion, but first you need to agree on what everyone dresses up as.

You can check out the big list of group costumes for a plethora of ideas or you could just have a look at this years top three group costume ideas...

The best group costume ideas for 2017 (according to industry insiders) are the Avengers, Star Wars and the Flintstones.

The Avengers Group Costume Ideas

I would say choose your favorite Avengers character and dress up as that, but with any group costume you will need to make sure you don't end up with five of you dressing up as Thor!  Remember the Big Bang Theory (albeit they were dressing up as DC Comics superheros and someone had to be Aquaman, they couldn't all be The Flash!) and decide on who is dressing up as who!

With the Avengers there are lots of different options for a costume including -

• Thor
• Iron Man
• Captain America
• The Hulk
• Black Widow
• Hawkeye
• Ant Man
• Daredevil
• Doctor Strange
• Elektra
• Spider Man

and that's just a few of the superheroes.  An Avengers group costume could also include Nick Fury, Agent Coulson and other characters from the comics and/or movies including some of the villains.

Star Wars, a Classic Group Costume Idea

Star Wars has been a classic group costume idea since 1977 and as the fans seem to increase every year I can't see this group costume idea diminishing any time soon!  Now obviously you can't have more than one Darth Vader or Princess Leia, but it is a group costume where you can have some double ups in the form of stormtroopers for example.

I must admit when I think of Star Wars I always think of the original trilogy so Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, Hans Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO and R2-D2 along with Darth Vader are the initial costumes that come to mind.

With the expansion of the Star Wars Empire there are even more costume ideas to explore, so who will you be Rey or Leia, R2-D2 or BB-8?  You could even mix them up and have a selection of Star Wars era costumes on show!

I have a few friends who echo the statement below -

What do you think of this rather bold statement?  Personally I think I'd prefer the Flintstones, but I'm completely ready to be out voted in which case "bags I be a wookie!"

The Flintstones Group Costume Ideas

Who doesn't love the Flintstones?  It's great to see that these costumes are having a bit of a surge in popularity again as a few years ago you couldn't go to a fancy dress event without seeing at least one Flintstones costume (whether it was Fred or Barney or several).  I fancy being Dino myself, what about you?

I do have a couple of friends who have dressed up as Barney & Betty Rubble on a couple of occasions, but for some reason I've never had a Flintstone's costume.  Dino does have my name on it though so maybe I need to convince a group of friends to join me in the Flintstone's group costumes this Halloween!

Of course there are lots of other ideas that come to mind including The Village People, Abba, even the Addams Family.   Whichever costumes you decide on going as a group is always fun!

Have you ever participated with friends in a group costume?  If so what did you go as, I'd love to know.

More Halloween Costume Ideas

Here on Review This we have a few other ideas which would be perfect for a group costume idea.  I have written a review on Harley Quinn Costumes and you could take these costumes and either dress as Harley through the ages or dress up as members of the Suicide Squad or just Batman Villains.

Susan has reviewed how to create a Hobo Costume.  If you're looking for an inexpensive DIY group costume then I think a group of Hobos would be awesome.

Heather reviews the best animal costumes for Halloween and this really is a great group costume idea.  You could get one of your group to dress up as a zookeeper or farmer depending on what animals the rest of you wanted to dress up as.  Another idea (which is especially great if your group is made up of couples) is a Noah's Ark style of group costumes where you have two of every animal you want!

If you were a kid of the 70's, 80's or 90's

There are a few things that would have made an impact on your lives.  It didn't matter whether you were a girl or a boy, because you would have been touched by this either way.

What in heaven's name am I talking about?  Well believe it or not, just as you were touched in the '70's, '80's and 90's so will the kids of today start to understand as they become the next generation to be "touched" by the STAR WARS phenomenon!

Today, the 4th of September was the roll out day for marketing  all things new and old from Star Wars, as the newest addition to the Movie sequence is about to happen in December of 2015.

The powers that be, already know they have a loyal following as bits and pieces are leaked to the media and people all over the US, Canada and beyond, are eating up anything and everything regarding the new movie.

Star Wars figures, jet planes, trackers, planets, scenes and games are all the rage, as are a whole new aresenal of weapons and robots, transporters and many other futuristic space related items.  All of them coming from the imaginations of the writers, producers, directors and actors in the new film. Film makers and their crafts, will again be highlighted in the production of "The Force Awakens", the newest addition to the Star Wars Movie Family.


The battle between Good and Evil is a theme that will never be old.  O h the characters may change and the surroundings are different, but the basic principle is the same.  Will the strength of a Few Good Men out do the Evil Ones.

If you haven't seen all the Star Wars Movies by now, I would highly suggest that it would be a good time to take in the Series or even better to review and recapture the excitement and wonder before the next installment comes to the Big Screen.

Then be prepared for your children asking for those same toys (just newer) that you loved as a child.  I know my boys will be wishing they still had their original R2D2's and Luke Skywalker figures, along with a few more.  These toys never get old and somehow, the boys of the 70's and 80's can hardly wait to indoctrinate a whole new generation into the story of  "STAR WARS".

The trailers I have seen for the newest edition, will have me wanting to line up early in the month of December, for an eye full of imagination and the excitement of what might be in the future......

To help you get ready for this Action Packed Thriller, I suggest a few Movie nights with the family, so that you are with the "Force" and the "Force" is with you, when it makes it's comeback.
