Serious one! Any products which originate from Africa - crafts... anything. These do nicely on ebay and are also in demand and with none of the problems of electronic crap and new versions being released. They also go for reasonable sale values and whatever product - this can be a one-off or quantity offers.

A friend just cleared what he thought was crap out of his house. The stuff was basically stuffed cadavers - animals - along with other craft stuff from Africa and India. He ended up with bids of $1400 - $1800 for the bigger items he was intending to dump in the trash. There are obviously keen collectors out there!

I'd avoid the mass consumer culture crap and concentrate on "reasonable value levels" of fairly rare items.
