Not enough to retire, or push us into a higher tax bracket, but she set it aside for the holidays and it bought a lot of nice gifts.
I'd always kind of thought eBay was for trailer park people and yahoos. Her experience convinced me that it really does serve as a relatively efficient market.

And even better, I'm sure some of the stuff went to the crazy lady in California whose house is merely a repository for boxes, dust and junk!
