She's all the rage with the tween crowd - Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana. If you can't afford $1,000 for a concert ticket, how about a musical toothbrush? Tooth Tunes musical toothbrushes can be found at Wal-Mart, Target, and drug stores for around $7. Hannah Montana Tooth Tunes are selling on eBay for as much as $20. You may profit even more if you sell these musical toothbrushes in lots.
Why would anyone pay three times the price for something they can get at their 
neighborhood Wal-Mart? That's just it - they might not have a neighborhood Wal-Mart, or the item may be out of stock. Remember, not all eBay buyers live in a metropolitan area with abundant shopping. Many of these "pop-star" type items are being shipped overseas to consumers who don't have access to these items in their own country.
These toothbrushes are the perfect item to sell on eBay, if you have access to them. The title is tied to a popular celebrity's name, the item is small and easy to ship, and you can use the stock photo for your listing. Upload your listing once, sell the item over and over again. Granted, you are not going to get rich selling toothbrushes on eBay, but this is another item you can add to your store for a quick profit.
Thanks for the tip on the toothbrushes! I love selling quick easy items like this. Items like this are very easy to list. First because you can use a stock photo and also you can buy multiples of item you can list however many you have in one listing.
If this item is selling very well to customers overseas, I would recommend listing some on the ebay UK site. I have had great success listing items like this on that site over the US ebay. They will sell faster and usually for more money. When people in the UK search for items on ebay, everything listed on their site will appear first. Then they will see the items listing on the US ebay. This helps to give you an a faster sale! Good luck!
