The tell tale signs that customers are starting to shop for christmas

I sold a Strawberry shortcake Christmas ornament today.

I wanted to share something interesting.

When I first listed this item months back, I did my research on eBay and Google shopping. Some of this same item were priced low, some in the middle and some high. I chose to go slightly over the mid range. At that time when I was researching the price, there were quite a bit more listings of it.

Today after the sale, I researched the price again and there were no more of the same exact on eBay or on Google shopping (a tell tale sign that people are now shopping for Christmas).

It shows that if you have something of value and quality and you do not go as low as someone else, that eventually the item will sell for the reasonable price you put it for.


Curious to know, anyone else seeing the tell tale signs of customers shopping for Christmas.

I do not want to jinx myself with this post on my first 2017 Christmas sale…I hope there are more lol.


Happy Halloween everyone!!

Let’s hope some sparkle is being thrown people’s way. Thank you!!

Congrats! I just had my third sale since starting on Bonanza a little while ago. Hoping that Christmas shoppers find my pretty-pretties and that people think “hostess gift” in the same thought as “Vintage and replacement china” this holiday season!

Rock on!
