Christmas in July/Back to School on Ebay

[enchantedpixiedust]

Hi

I was wondering if any of you do a Christmas in July sale on Ebay? I am getting ready for a garage sale but have a TON of holiday items I think would do better online but don't want to hold past the garage sale date. I was curious if you'd had any luck w/ this at all or if it's just too early for people to think holidays.

Also - when does back to school clothes shopping get going on there?

TIA

Hi again

I'm revisting this thread to see if anyone has had any luck with Christmas & Back to School shopping on Ebay lately.

I listed a ton of great holiday stuff - hardly anything moved. In fact, the only thing that sold was a lot of Pooh ornaments I had bought at Walmart a few years back.

I listed a bunch of name brand shoes - these did GREAT. I was shocked.

My sisters cleaned out their closets - loads of high end name brand clothing. I started things CHEAP - ie 4.99 for a $140 pair of pants, 9.99 for a $200 suit, etc. Nothing, zippo. Kind of depressing considering how much time & effort went into posting it all.

I'm planning a yard sale before the trip and hate to see these items go for a couple dollars, but I'm not sure if I want to spend the $$$ to list everything again if it's not selling.

Anyway, just venting and wanting to see how everyone elses sales are doing.

Thanks!

If I really want to sell stuff out of my closets, I usually do small lots. They seem to sell well if they are mostly name brand or high end items. You might try that before taking $.50 for a $200 suit! The other way is to take your high end clothing to a high end consignment shop. It may take six to eight weeks to sell and get your money, but it sure is easy! Good luck.
