Since it’s publication two years ago, Buying Stampin’ Up Sets At Garage Sales has produced more email from readers than any other post on The Auction Rebel. Because of this continued interest, and because much of the original information is no longer up-to-date, I thought I would revisit the subject and put together some more current prices and information.

The popularity of rubber stamping and scrap booking has grown over the last two years, resulting in increased interest by both sellers and buyers in these sets on eBay. This increased popularity has also resulted in a growth in the number of Stampin’ Up sets showing up at garage sales.

The increase in sets available at garage sale provides the savvy seller with the chance to garner some nice profits selling sets on eBay. However, this increase also means you can get stung if you aren’t careful.

Because Stampin’ Up sets were expensive when they were new, they often show up at garage sales bearing price tags ranging from $7 to $15. Many of the sets won’t bring this much on eBay so it’s important to know what the rarer and more popular sets are and what they normally bring on eBay.

Below is a list of roughly ninety of the more popular sets along with some current pricing information. Shown is the name of the set (usually found on the plastic case they come in); the year it was first made if known to me; how many stamps there are in the set; the highest price it’s sold for on eBay within the last couple months; the lowest price it’s sold for on eBay during the same time; and it’s average sales price during that period.

If you would like the above list in PDF format that you can print out on both sides of one sheet of paper to carry in your billfold or purse you can download it by right clicking on stampin-up-set-prices.pdf and saving it to your computer.
