This year is a first... since eBay has been around, the economy has never been where it is now - and I can't help but think about how it might effect the biggest selling season of the year... holiday toy sales.
I'm confident that even if parents can't afford to, they will find a way to buy toys for their children. And, if they can't afford to get the newest toys for this year... they will buy used.
The point is - They are still going to buy toys!
Did you know that used toys sell well on eBay all year long? - And they do quite well during the holiday season too.
I can't help to wonder if they will do even better than usual this year because of the economy. We'll have to wait and see to find out - but, it doesn't hurt to be prepared.
One of the best strategies toy sellers can implement this holiday season is to offer both used and new toys to their customers.
Even though new toys traditionally skyrocket during the holidays... and that means sellers can buy them at full retail prices only to see them double or triple on eBay... there can be a much higher profit margin when selling used toys. You can pick up gently used toys at yard sales, consignment shops, estate sales and thrift stores for pennies on the dollar and turn them around for 100-200% profit on eBay!
But, it all comes down to knowing what sells...
