Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl Footballs...bad investment


Things can change quick on ebay...something can be selling like crazy. Then, boom, its dead in the water. I was in the Pittsburgh area around Thanksgiving and picked up some footballs for $7.99 each because they were bringing $29.99 on ebay. They were the collectible footballs from their Super Bowl victory over the Arizona Cardinals.


Since that time the Steelers have been on a downward spiral...probably not even going to the playoffs. Selling them off @ $9.99 just to get rid of them. Hardly, worth the hassle!


Point being that not everything you buy will bring big profits on ebay...don't give up!

Vintage Bell Moto Star Motorcycle - RARE FIND


I learn so much on Ebay...yesterday I listed my first vintage Bell Moto Star helmet. Apparently, these are very rare. Its one of those items you list and people start wanting to buy it now, hoping to get it for a steal.


Like I said I learn so much by selling on ebay. I just about didn't buy this helmet just because it was old. Now, I am glad I did because it could bring well over $500 on auction.


These helmets were made in Bell, CA and are some of the first helmets to incorporate safety regulations promoted by a foundation that took the life of a famous racer in the 50's.


Go to ebay and watch this baby sell...just go to Brooke Michael's Ebay Store.
