You might be asking why in the world I would be sharing with you a list of used costumes that sold for over $100 LAST year… But, I think it is valuable information if you are thinking about selling used costumes this year.
First of all – the thing about USED items… they hold their value. Many of these same costumes and accessories that sold for over $100 last year are going to be hot sellers this year. They are worth looking into because you can pick up used costumes for $5-10 easy.
Secondly, I want you to see how you can get more lists like this one… only for 2009! 😉
I’ve been following retail trends… and if you have are selling on eBay, you probably do to. One of the things I pay special attention to is the seasons… You have probably noticed that stores are starting to replace the back to school supply shelves with costumes already. Halloween sales should peak at the end of this month when we move right into the Christmas holiday season. This means there is still plenty of time to make a great profit selling costumes on eBay. In fact, even after the Halloween sales reach their peak in retail stores – some will be going strong through October. To take advantage of this as an eBay seller there are two key factors to be aware of:
Key #1: You need to know which costumes will be the most popular – this way, when the stores are all out of them, you can offer your inventory at a profit 😉
Key #2: Have you ever noticed that stores seem to sell the same costumes every year. Even Disney manages to come up with a new Cinderella dress design (or two or three or four!) every year. Once these are gone in the stores people look for previous years used costumes to make their little ones happy.
See… USED costumes SELL!
And this is great news for eBay sellers in the market of children’s items because you can find them for $5-10 EASY and turn around a nice profit of $20-100 in the very short Halloween season.
You have just a few weeks to take advantage of selling used costumes – but NOW is the time guys!
In fact, I mentioned this a week or two ago (sorry – I’m still on pain meds from my shoulder surgery and the days are all running together)… Sherah has put out an incredible resource that helps you profit right away selling USED Halloween costumes. What I didn’t realize is that there was a deadline on the discount she was offering my readers for this resource…
Well, I did some arm twisting… and was able to get the date for the discount extended 🙂
This program is selling for $29 elsewhere right now – but, through Friday the 11th, you can save $9 and get it for $20.
Sooner is better on this one… and here is why.
The program includes a newly updated downloadable eBook listing tons of tips and strategies for getting inventory FAST. Plus – there are over 200 USED costumes listed that you can shop for and turn around on eBay with confidence. It is your very own shopping list right there for USED Halloween costumes.
But, there is more… You will also get a weekly list of 20 used costumes that are CURRENTLY selling well on eBay.
This season is short – and the weekly list of 20 used costumes only goes out for 7 more weeks. They are sent out on Wednesdays – so, if you get the book before then, you’ll get all 7 weekly lists!
And… that’s not all… 😉
At the end of this email, I was able to get my hands on the last list from the 2008 weekly list that was sent out for used costumes. This will give you an idea of what you can expect for the next 7 weeks if you get the Secrets of Selling Hot Halloween Costumes before Wednesday.
Alright – here is how you can get immediate access:

First off, hope you’re feeling better from your
surgery. Also, I have to agree that certain costumes
seem to be out there repeatedly even though they
may not be as popular. However, those costumes that
are the “most favorable costumes” for that year
seem to be the fastest sellers and the stores
run out of them very quickly or don’t carry enough
on given sizes.
I really enjoy reading your emails. Looking forward to what great advice you have in store for the coming holiday bying season and what you think will be the “big sellers”for the season too. Very interested in your feedback. Thanks again.
