So a few weeks ago, I provided some long overdue eBay updates. They weren’t that exciting. I have more exciting news this week on the smut front. I sold all of the weird porn that I found at that one sale a few weeks ago. It didn’t sell for mass quantities of money, but at least someone bought it! One of the purchasers was Organ himself! What a guy! Because the pictures are far too racy for this decent audience, I will summarize:
Two vintage issues of Hustler: $4.99
Eight issues of weird “Family Secrets” and “Sexy Letters” type digests: $10.50
Five issues of Playboy, including one with Vanna White: $7.99
Six vintage issues of Playboy: $9.99
So in summary, I didn’t make a lot on any of this crap, but I’m glad it all sold. The one suggestion I do have, though, is to NOT look at the Facebook profile of a person who buys your ultra smutty (“Family Secrets”) porn. I will not out this person, because that’s just not right. However, I will post some of the (as I like to call them) Facebook Gifs that he’s plastered all over his wall. These are the ones that are safe for our more sensitive DTT readers:
And one of the more ultra-benign, non-sexy ones…
Needless to say, I feel horrified that this person has my return address.
So all in all, a bit of a letdown, but I’m hoping that these vintage playboy puzzles end up bringing in the dough. Considering the fact that people have already started bidding each other up on them, I think it will happen. I’ve already made most of my money back on them. Here’s what seems to be the most popular, and my favorite–Britt Frederickson–she looks a lot like Lindsay Lohan!

Update: The puzzles that sold brought in the cash, but two of them didn’t sell at all. I relisted them and we’ll see what happens. Here are the stats:
Britt: $24.50
Cynthia Myers: $22.19
Gwen Wong: $14.99
I still made my money back but I’m hoping that the two that didn’t sell end up doing so.
So all in all, none of this stuff ended up being a great investment, but it’s all a learning experience: For example, I now know that if I ever find one of the 500 piece puzzles, I should grab it–they’re worth some cash.
Update #2: The final two puzzles sold for $15 each so my total profit was $41. Not bad!
