What will be the "good" items for ebay after the holidays?

[samsid99]

Hi guys!!!

I am a simple ebayer, just sell stuff I already have or my girls have outgrown. They have been great sports about weeding through old toys, clothes, books and videos. Then I list some of my old clothes too. We have a huge book collection so I literally have hundreds of high quality childrens easy reader books ( I am a teacher so I have tons of class sets too.) I have been at this since this past summer and have managed to put approx. $700 in my ING account. Not enough for disney yet but 700 dollars closer than before.

I am wondering when would be the best time to list after the holidays. I did take advantage of the .10 listing day and did fairly well. But I am wondering now if I should hold off or just keep listing as normal.

Thanks for any input.

It depends on what your selling. Clothing has seasons where certain things sell better than others. Books are a year long thing, though I wonder if the teaching sets would do better around the back to school season. Toys, I only sell around the holidays since they seem to make more then. Right now I am selling spring and Valentines/Easter clothing items. I threw a swimsuit in to see how it does. My books are doing great too. I think I will try to list alot in Feb since it is tax season and people will have $$ to spend. Plus it gives them some time to recover from holiday spending LOL.
HTH!

I don't sell on ebay but I would think the extra stuff for gifts people got for christmas would sell great right now
like dvds, cds, or playstation games etc
good luck

Pretty soon it would be a good time for me to list my kids old First Communion suits, and dresses. They were worn only once! A friend of mine sold hers, I never would have even thought of it.

Now is a good time for exercise/lose weight stuff. Feb March good time to start selling spring and summer.

Right around the first week of February summer clothing is hot. Believe it or not. In think it's because it's still hard to find, and many people are getting ready to go away.
