One of my co-workers sells on eBay also and mentioned to me that Little Golden Books and Pop-Up books do pretty well. Which ones? I see tons of these books at the many thrift stores I haunt - but not too sure of which ones to buy - even tho I'd only be losing about 25 cents if I were to take any chances on some of them!

LGB's sometimes do well, but they have to be "A" editions and in great shape (unless it is a rare title like Little Black Sambo).
Pop-Up's do fairly well whatever the title..the older and more perfect bring higher prices.
None of these books are doing especially well these past few weeks. I have listed hundreds of kids books and very few got any bids.
I'd wait for a better market to start selling these, the prices now do not reflect real value.
The best thing to watch for is the illustrator. Many books will sell if the artist is well loved.

Kyms has good advice here for you. I've sold a LGB Christmas Carols book for about $4. Is it worth the time and effort? I'm not sure. I'd hold them.
I don't know if you've noticed, but I have things to sell which I know will do better next year or in 20 years and it's almost impossible for me to just wset them aside. The temptation is too strong!
