Toy Trends for 2009 – A Must For New and Used Toy Sellers

Looking at trends in the toy industry can be valuable for an eBay seller… it helps to know what kind of inventory to keep an eye out for – and you can bet that the most popular toys this year will likely follow these trends. This is true for new and used toys.

Following are some trends that outline what buyers are paying attention to this year and are useful to keep in mind when shopping for inventory.

1. Eco-Friendly Toys

“Green” is IN… it is everywhere and toys are no exception! Toys that are environmentally friendly are expected to be very popular this year.

2. Budget Friendly

The economy is all the talk – but that doesn’t mean parents aren’t going to be buying toys for their kids this Christmas. Retailers are already gearing up to offer some great prices on their toys this year.

3. Realistic Toys

I think it started with Baby Alive years ago… but it has become a huge trend these past few years and looks like it will continue. These are toys that respond to touch and interact with the child somehow.

4. Classic toys

Many parents are turning to toys that they had when they were young.

5. Movies

There are always a few movies that are released during the year that have a very timely DVD release right before the holidays. Look at what movies did well this year – and keep an eye on the merchandise available for that movie… usually they do well on eBay.

(Time Sensitive) An opportunity you don't want to miss...

I just saw that Chris Malta, Founder and CEO of WorldwideBrands.com is going to be holding a few personal workshops next month in Florida.

I have been an affiliate of Worldwide Brands for many years now and over the years have seen the quality of information that they put out. I have no doubt that Chris' workshops will be top notch.

It's always said that it's not what you know, but who you know, and Chris is one of those guys YOU want to know.

Chris' workshops afford you the opportunity to spend a full 2 days of getting to PERSONALLY KNOW Chris and have him help you with your business; not to mention that you will have the opportunity to meet and get to know 14 other business owners - people like yourself who may have solutions to your questions.

Over the course of the weekend you will learn how Chris built WorldwideBrands.com starting with $500 and has built it to now be worth tens of millions.

Subject: Chris Malta Leaving Worldwide Brands??

Body:

There has been a rumor starting to circulate that I may
be leaving Worldwide Brands. I'd rather you hear the
truth from me than rumors from somebody else, so let me
explain.

I started Worldwide Brands nearly 10 years ago for just
$500. It's now valued in the tens of millions. When I
first started this business, I never imagined it would
go so far. It's been one heluva ride!

Along the way, I became a best-selling author, a
business radio talk show host, I've written hundreds of
articles, created dozens of ebiz videos, and have met
and worked with all of the top movers and shakers in
companies such as eBay, UPS, Amazon, Yahoo, and many
more.

Through the years, I've been able to touch the lives of
literally millions of people in a very positive way, and
I'll never forget that experience. To be able to do all
that for so long and still have an absolutely sterling
reputation online, proves the fact that good guys CAN
win, and do.

I couldn't possibly give all that up.

So no, I'm not leaving Worldwide Brands.
However, I AM starting something of my OWN that's
completely NEW. This has been literally 30 years in the
making, and beginning April 4, 2009, I am going to
PERSONALLY change ebiz owners' lives forever.
If you know me at all, you know perfectly well that I
don't do "marketing hype". I say something, then I do
it. Period.

When I say I'm going to change your life, and do it
personally, I promise you that I absolutely mean it.
The best way to explain what I'm about to do is through
a short video that I've put together for you. I'm
telling you for a fact that you REALLY don't want to
miss this.

In fact, to prove that point, if you watch this Video
NOW, during a limited time, I'll give you my direct cell
phone number so that you can actually call me and ask me
the most pressing EBiz question on your mind right now.

This is the real deal, and it's VERY time-sensitive!
Click Here NOW to watch the video, and for a limited
time, talk to me on the phone about it if you want to.

Let's make it YOUR life that changes forever!

CEO, WorldwideBrands.com

How are your eBay auctions going?

Here's a little something from my friend Jenni....

How are your eBay auctions going?

I've been hearing that some sellers are really struggling... I hope that isn't you! But, if it is (and even if your auctions are doing well in this lovely economy)... I have a gift for you.

Every week I poke around on eBay and look for used toys that are selling well on eBay... Combining this research with my experience at garage sales, I put together a weekly list for MyToyGuide subscribers.

This list has at least 25 used toy items that are currently selling on eBay... PLUS, I include a tip for how much I would pay for the item if I were to find it at a thrift shop or garage sale. I am always amazed at the huge profit margin I see with used toys on eBay... seriously - you can buy a toy for $5 and turn it around for well over 100% profit (I'm talking AFTER eBay and paypal fees!)

Here are a couple of things I found that are in the most recent MyToyGuide list...

USED piece of dollhouse furniture for $36! You can find this for less than $5 at garage sales or thrift shops if you know to look for them!... consider that profit margin. If you paid $10 to list and cover your inventory and fees - your profit is an easy $16 just for this one little toy.

How about these...
Did you know that the Toy Story DVD's for Toy Story 1 and Toy Story 2 - USED - recently sold for over $55? You could pick these up at a garage sale for $15-20 for the set -- if you knew to look for them.

The MyToyGuide weekly list provides this information to you on a weekly basis... with actual auctions that are current as proof for what is selling!

Check it out for yourself... you can get the most recent weekly MyToyGuide list HERE:

http://mytoyguide.com/feblist.html
(And be sure to share the list with your eBay friends!)

Print it out... and use it as a reference for shopping for used toy inventory.... a gift - just because :-) Well, actually, I know times are tough right now... and many sellers don't realize how well they can do with used toys on eBay. In fact, I think used toys are better to sell than new toys -the profit margin is much larger... with limited risk because used toys are so cheap!

Take a look for yourself... there is no sign up - just the most recent MyToyGuide list:

http://mytoyguide.com/feblist.html

Enjoy!
Jenni

PS. We've been providing a weekly list for 5 years next month... If you are interested in getting a list like this every month, join in on the celebration and save $10 a month!
