Just sold a photograph of a beached shipwreck, not sure off the top of my head without looking on the ships name, but it was just a small 5x3 photo for $200, don't sleep on paper goods people.
I've sold plenty for over $500 as well, it's nuts.

That’s amazing! Was there anything on it to identify the year or location? I’ve had some photos where they seem around 100 years old but I couldn’t figure out the decade. There’s a big market for vintage ephemera especially if you can find an interesting story behind the item.

@realwildgoods the name of the ship,and the location was on it. I was able to use Google and quickly figure out the year the shipped washed up, I priced it at 299.95 in February, slowly lowered it until I got an offer this morning of 200 even. Considering I'm getting more 10 dollar sales than anything lately that really helped.
I purchased a massive lot of photos off of an ebay seller at the start of the year for 420ish dollars all in.
Even after it having gone through the global shipping program or whatever they're calling it now, having about 700ish photos stolen during the repack, I ended up with some amazing stuff, it's not even close to all listed. I did the math this morning after that sale to see where I was at with profit, I was shocked to see it come out to $4172.93 with another thousand or so already listed from the lot, and a few thousand to still go with some real gems. I said it on one of your other videos, I love lettermail and I try to build my business around lettermail mostly, however I have about 3000 watches to go through still lol, so alot of those won't be able to go lettermail unfortunately.
I would so recommend ephemera selling to EVERYONE who loves the history, it becomes more fun than a game and when you learn it and learn it well, you can buy stuff straight off of ebay to resell once again. Then if you're fortunate to be able to have your mail delivery person pick your mail up at your door you won't have to do much more than, list, pack and figure out your drivers timing so you don't have to have your packages outdoors too long. If you don't hoarde it (Guilty) the stuff you have listed could fit in a very small space so it is also good for people with limited space.
I'm rambling at this point lol, definitely a long winded answer.
