eBay is a Buyers Market, Sometimes a Sellers Market!

Many antique dealers who have been in business for decades, will tell you that eBay has single-handedly ruined the antique marketplace.

It’s true. Five years ago, you’d pay $2500 for a 1930 Shirley Temple Doll. Nowadays, you can find them all day long on eBay for $30 to $800. And there is a very long list of similar items and results. However, there are certain times when eBay is a Sellers Market- Like Christmas time. I love Christmas on eBay. Just like many retail stores, who make most of their money during Christmas, eBay, being a virtual retail outlet, does too.


For example, you can buy a $600 laptop on eBay for $350 most of the time. But try it a week or three before christmas and you’ll pay close to $600. You could easily make a living by buying laptops all year long, then selling them starting at the first of December. And there are tons of other items that are HOT during Christmas. Other holidays present real opportunities too, with seasonal items and holiday related things. Just buy them in the off-season and sell them when the time is right.
