How to Sell Budweiser Collectibles on eBay
Soon after coming to America in the mid-1800s, Adolphus Busch started Anheuser Bush with his father-in-law. Desiring to make something other than a dark ale or Bavarian lager, the light Bohemian-style Budweiser Lager was born. Budweiser collectibles and antiques range from steins, to T-shirts to special edition Nascar and Clydesdale items. There is a large demand for them, and selling these items on eBay can be profitable and easy.

Start listing by following the directions on each page. You will need to list Budweiser items under the "Collectibles" category, then under "Breweriana, Beer." From there, you have the option of choosing more information about your item in a subcategory. For example, you would choose from bottles, steins, mugs, lighters, playing cards, trays, pins, towels and just about anything else you can think of. If you are unsure where your item belongs, search for a similar listing before listing yours, and at the top in blue you will see what section is it listed in.

Choose the auction type. You can list auction-style auctions currently for 1, 3, 5, 7 or 10 days. Most people choose the 7-day option and run them over the weekend. Auction-style listings ask a minimum bid price and the understanding that your item may sell for this price. Alternatively, reserve-style listings are also an option and mean your bidder has to meet a certain bid in order for your item to sell.

5
Write a good description when prompted. Accurately describe your item, measurements, materials and condition. Use keywords fluently that describe your item throughout your description. For example, if it's a Budweiser Pottery Horse Stein, reference Bud, King of Beers, Clydesdale, horse, ceramic and mug. Do not "spam the system" by adding random words, but work in the applicable ones to your description for optimal search results.

Tips & Warnings
For auction-style listings, you will be charged an "Insertion Fee," and if it sells, a "Final Value Fee." Choosing additional listing features or upgrades may incur additional fees. Electronic payments such as PayPal also yield additional fees.
If your auction does not sell, you have the option to relist.
Check eBay before listing your Budweiser collectible. If there are 20 auctions with the same item, but they end in a day, wait a day then list yours. Less items exactly like yours gives it a better chance of selling.
