eBay Shops Stock-up Early for Christmas
eBay Shops Stock-up Early for Christmas
According to the world’s largest online auction – eBay - last September, Playstation 2 consoles were selling on its auctions for under £100. But closer to Christmas, when stocks at high street shops were running out, the same items on eBay increased in price to almost £250, showing a 250% profit for eBay sellers.
So this year, Ebay is advising traders to buy stocks early and resell them at online auctions during the build-up to Christmas in anticipation of retail outlets running out of stock during the pre-Christmas rush.
eBay spokesperson, Charlie Coney, is reported as saying, "There are lots of exciting present ideas already in the shops and they will soon start to appear on both eBay and Dear Santa lists. Nobody knows what will be the Christmas number 1 best seller, but you can have a pretty good guess.”
So what will be the toys to focus on? Well, according to eBay they are……….V2 Robosapien; Xbox 360; PlayStation Pocket – PSP; Furby; Amazing Amanda; Star Wars Electronic Lightsaber; Tamagotchi Connexion; Rock Angels Bratz; Monopoly 70th Anniversary Here & Now Limited Edition and The Da Vinci Code board game.
