I Love Selling on eBay Before Christmas!

Posted by dropshipebayer on December 2, 2008

What a great time of year this is.  Not only are people buzzing with the spirit of the holidays but people are shopping like mad!

My eBay sales have indeed rocketed even with the increased competition.  There are definitely more eBay sellers right now.

I have been able to sell tons of toys I bought throughout the year (using DropShipping Sucks).  Ok, maybe not tons.  But in my eBay stats the “Sold” shows 89 and the profits have been around 10% higher than usual.

On the other hand, I have had a lot of trouble selling the “Lost” merchandise I have.  I was able to buy some stuff related to the TV show “Lost” for a very low cost.  I assumed it would sell much better than it has though.  I will probably need to hold on to it until the show is back on in Jan 2009 though.  It is just not selling.

One thing that is selling really well are the wireless cameras with wireless montiors I bought.  They are selling consistantly for over $65 which is far more than the $18 I bought them for a few weeks ago!  Also, all the toys I have are flying off the virtual eBay shelf.

But toys, as expected, are doing the best.  The Little Pet Shop toys I got are going hot although I do not make as much on those.  Also going hot are the Nintendo Wii knockoffs.  No, they are not just like the Wii but they are close and for the selling price of $60 they are a deal (so buy some!).

I have to run.  I have to get to the post office before work.  Wish me luck and the same to you!
