I recently sold a set of M&Ms candy salt and pepper shakers on eBay.

I took photos from all sides of the top, bottom and sides to show any potential cracks, damage or crazing to the ceramic. These red and yellow salt and pepper shakers were from the 1990’s so they were in good condition. They did not include the original box, but I could have gotten a few more dollars if I had that included.

Here is the title I used to try to include all possible spelling keyword variants for M&Ms Candy:

M&M Candy Salt and Pepper Shakers Ceramic Yellow Red M&M’s M&Ms Set 1990’s MandM

Breakdown of Ebay Fees, Paypal Fees, Shipping costs. I had them listing at $18.99 but accepted a best offer of $15. This was the second best offer I received from a buyer, the previous day someone had offered back and forth up to $13.50, but would not accept my counters. The M&M Salt and Pepper Shakers sold in less than a week of being listing. They were under a pound packaged in a small box with bubble wrap so could ship first class. They reached the buyer safely.

Sold for $15.00 with FREE SHIPPING

Total Sale Price $15.00 less Total Fees equals NET PROFIT: $7.46

That is a 50% profit collected after fees assuming the item had no cost and was something that you just had around the house.
