The destination for cultural classics, eBay is celebrating its 30th anniversary with the launch of the '95 Shop -- a first-of-its-kind retail experience and online destination spotlighting the most quintessential fashion, collectibles, and motors of the '90s. To make the celebration even more iconic, they partnered with '90s legend Sarah Michelle Gellar, who curated a collection of 30 'Greatest Hits' pieces popular in the '90s that continue to trend on eBay today. Some highlights include the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, which became famous as James Bond's watch in the '90s and remains the top-searched watch on eBay in 2025; a 1994-95 Michael Jordan autographed Bulls 45 jersey, with MJ still ranking as the most-searched athlete on eBay this year; and a 1997 Land Rover Defender 90, representing one of the platform's most searched-for automotive brands. And of course, Gellar also brought in her own history, with signed Buffy the Vampire Slayer treasures - especially timely with the reboot currently in production. LifeMinute was there to hear all about it from Garry Thaniel, eBay's General Manager of U.S. Fashion, who walked us through this exclusive pop-up blending celebrity style, nostalgia-driven finds, and eBay's 30-year history of fueling e-commerce. You can visit the '95 Shop at 45 Grand St and if you're not in New York the action continues online at ebay.com , where you can bid on all 30 'Greatest Hits,' each starting at just 95 cents.

00:00Hi everyone, I'm Gary Fanuel, GM of US Fashion here at eBay and where we are today is in
00:10New York City and we are celebrating 30 years of eBay. To celebrate 30 years of eBay we have
00:16our 30 greatest hits from the 90s behind me. We have everything from vintage fashion to
00:21collectibles and even sports memorabilia that is in high demand. Some of my favorite items are
00:28this 1995 Michael Jordan signed jersey. This is from the year in which he came back wearing number
00:3545. Michael Jordan remains the top search athlete on eBay so these are items that were in demand
00:42during our founding decade and still turn heads today. We also have a Omega Seamaster which is an
00:47amazing timepiece. Fun fact this was the first year that Pierce Brosnan wore the Omega Seamaster
00:53in GoldenEye so it has cultural relevance in a number of ways but from vintage fashion to
01:00collectibles to sports memorabilia what we have is a collection that really embraces items from our
01:06founding decade but still are in high demand today. Sarah Michelle Gellar being such a 90s icon,
01:11eBay being founded in 1995, this is the perfect partnership for us to celebrate our 30 years.
01:16So what we did was really went through all of our eBay marketplace data to identify items that we think
01:22represent the best from the 90s. Sarah Michelle helped us hand pick items that she also felt reflected
01:27that and what we have is a collection of items from Versace sunglasses to 1995 Gucci faux fur which is
01:34the first collection that Tom Ford did for Gucci to Spider-Man comics from the 90s that were signed by
01:40both Stanley and Todd McFarlane. So a number of items across category and to top it off Sarah Michelle
01:46was even able to donate several or contribute several of her personal items from the Buffy the
01:52Vampire Slayer collection. So we have signed action figures, signed Funkos. So again as we think about
01:57the 90s icon that Sarah Michelle Gellar is a great marketplace like eBay that remains culturally relevant
02:03that was founded in the 90s this was really the perfect partnership for us. So if you're in town please
