1. Outdoor Vintage Halloween Decor

Nothing screams nostalgia like a glowing pumpkin or skeleton from decades past. Vintage Halloween yard décor is hot on eBay — especially pieces from the 1950s–1980s.

What to Look For:

• Rosbro and Kokomold blow-molds — especially pumpkins, skeletons, witches, and the Pumpkin Carriage.

• Empire, TPI, and General Foam Plastics also made high-value blow-molds.

• Oversized pieces like giant skeletons or multi-piece pumpkin sets.

Reseller Tip:
Even if paint is faded, collectors love authentic vintage patina. Clean gently, but don’t repaint — original condition sells higher.

Example Sold Listings:

• Rosbro Pumpkin Carriage: $250–$400

• Giant skeleton blow-mold: $300+

• Empire Witch on Broom: $150–$250

2. Indoor Halloween Lamps & Lights

• Vintage tabletop lamps with flicker bulbs or painted shades

5. Modern Halloween Inflatables

While not vintage, holiday inflatables can bring massive profits — especially discontinued ones.

Best Sellers:

• Large Disney-branded inflatables (Jack-O-Lantern Mickeys, Haunted Mansion, Nightmare Before Christmas)

• Older Gemmy inflatables (pre-2015)

• Animated or light-up versions in original boxes

Example Sold Listings:

Pro Tip:
Test and photograph your inflatables fully inflated before listing. Buyers love to see they work — and you’ll get fewer returns.
