Only 57 Holiday Toy Guide’s Left!
Hey guys…
Just a quick note to let you know that I just finished up the update to the Holiday Toy Guide for Thanksgiving week. As a GOLD member of the Holiday Toy Guide you get weekly lists of how the toys that are expected to be the most popular this holiday are performing on eBay. But, that’s not all – there is a great community of sellers sharing their own tips and bargains on the Gold Membership site… and, you get a bunch of other goodies too!
We started with 500 memberships and are down to 57 – We have 31 days until Christmas… in other words, things are about to heat up on eBay! Know what popular toys are actually worth buying to resell on eBay with the Holiday Toy Guide…
These last few will be gone by the end of the week – and it is the last you will hear from me about it… so, if you want to get in on toys this year, there is still time!
Check out www.holidaytoyguide.com to learn more.
Happy Thanksgiving!!

6 Ways To Reduce Stress For This Holiday Selling Season
- What are you going to sell?
- When are these items usually listed for the highest profits?
- How will I ensure a high sell-through rate?
- What is my plan for items that don’t sell?
- How many items a week can I sell on a weekly basis and still remain sane?
- What is my shipping strategy?
- If you are selling baby dolls, consider also selling clothing and accessories for the doll.
- If you are selling Zhu Zhu pets, consider also selling accessories – or Kung Zhu pets.
And spend time with your family and friends too! No matter how organized you are, spending an evening here and there with those you care about can help you get through this crazy selling season and keep you sane! 
Pre-Order Your 2010 Holiday Toy Guide Before It’s Too Late!
Yep! You heard me right… the HOLIDAYS are coming – but, no worries! I have great news about the 2010 Holiday Toy Guide!
See, one thing I have noticed over these past couple of years while the economy has been, shall we say, unpredictable…
is that REGARDLESS, parents… grandparents… aunts… uncles… they all buy toys for the children in their lives during the holidays.
They will go without – just so they can shop for the toys their kids MUST have.
This is why I wasn’t too surprised that the Holiday Toy Guide had such a great response last year!
The economy was shaky… but, many sellers who knew what to sell did quite well with toys on eBay.
Anyhow – as much as I really want to hang onto summer… I have been getting ready for the big holiday selling season. Can you believe we are only 11 weeks from the big Black Friday shopping weekend?
Okay – I won’t continue to shock you with the dates… but, whether or not you are ready, it is coming. And, I’m hoping to spend time over the next few weeks helping YOU get ready.
A few topics we are going to be covering…
- Toy Trends for the 2010 Holidays
- Strategies for 2010 Holiday Sales
- Getting Amazing Deals on Inventory
- Tips for Selling During the Holidays
I’ll give you another week or so to let your mind shift from back to school or customes to toys for the holidays…
In the mean time, I wanted to let you know…
The doors are OPEN to PRE-ORDER the Holiday Toy Guide for 2010 at a special rate!

Costumes Are On The Rise – Are You Ready?
Costumes Are On The Rise! Do you know what’s selling?
Sherah Taylor has asked me to team up with her this year on her eBook, Secrets of Hot Selling Halloween Costumes. I jumped at the idea – because when she first released the program, I was incredibly jealous that I didn’t come up with the idea first Well, now I get to be a part of it!
Sherah was the publisher for Auction-Moms for years and she is well known for selling a USED Disney Boo costume a couple years ago for over $120. Just last year, she picked up another and sold it for around $100! And, I think I heard that she has already found one for $10 to sell this year.
Well, Sherah spills the beans on how she works her magic with costume auctions – if you sell costumes (or even if you don’t – but want to), this is a MUST HAVE! In fact, this is a great market to get into because the turn around on inventory is so quick. One of the great things about selling costumes is that you can buy them from thrift shops and consignment stores – and list them right away!… Instant profits!
All you have to know is which costumes sell the best… and Sherah lists over 250 USED costumes that sell for $20-80+ on eBay this time of year in her eBook.
Plus, not only do you get the eBook – but, we have partnered up to provide a 2 month subscription to HuntedTreasure. HuntedTreasure gives you a weekly report listing 25 used children’s items that are currently selling well on eBay – and one of the categories we are researching for you is costumes! So for the next 2 months, you will also receive a list of costumes and other children’s items that are selling well RIGHT NOW on eBay.

Building Your Inventory Without Spending a Penny!
=====================================
Many people use the slow selling season during the summer to shop and build their inventory. This really is a great time to do so… especially if you are selling used items. Yard sales are in full swing and you can get plenty of incredible merchandise for pennies on the dollar by shopping them.
What if I told you that you could get inventory without spending a cent though?
Seriously??
Yep! I have done it! Here is my secret… TRADE. You can actually trade your used clothing or items (that is in decent condition) for trade credit at many consignment stores… allowing you to trade your old items for ‘new’ ones that you know will bring in an ebay profit.
Here are some easy to follow steps to trade successfully:

A few years back a friend of mine who runs a membership site for eBay sellers was telling me how excited she was to get her listings up. It’s always fun to have a new wave of items up on eBay… That refresh button can be a little addictive when a listing is coming to an end and a bidding war has started! But, my friend wasn’t interested in her items selling…
what?!
You heard me right!
She could care less if her items actually sold!
Why?
Because her PURPOSE to listing wasn’t to sell the item she had listed. Her PURPOSE was to get the people looking at her listings to join her mailing list! Her PUROSE was to drive traffic to her site and gain new members… and this plan worked! Whenever she was listing items on eBay, her mailing list grew… and so did her membership site numbers!
Wouldn’t it be nice to take the pressure off of having to make money on your listings and look at them as an advertising or marketing opportunity instead?

Calendar of coupons/bargains/sales
=====================================
=====================================
One of the websites I frequent sent out an interesting email earlier this year. Buxr has been watching the trends for how stores and manufacturers run their sales. This calendar of savings they put together allows you to get a glimpse of what can be expected to be promoted by stores and what you might find as far as sales, coupons and rebates… If you are reselling new retail items, this is valuable information.
I put together a summary from the list… I just included items below from the list that tend to be sold on eBay. You will want to look at the whole article HERE.
Trends for savings
——————-
January: furniture, carpet, exercise stuff, grills, TV’s
February: tires, tools, humidifiers
March: luggage, boots, coats/winter wear
April: car accessories, fabric, vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers
May: Patio furniture, water, party supplies, camping gear, mattresses
June: hand tools
July: early markdowns for patio furniture, outgoing theater shows on Broadway sell tickets for 50% off
August: further patio furniture mark-downs, outdoor toy sales (30-75% off), swimwear, backpacks, school/office supplies
September: bikes, digital cameras, gas grills, wines
October: large appliances, winter coats, jeans
November: left over Halloween items
December: computers, loads of bundles with electronics, wedding dresses, baby products, toys, GPS
Enjoy!

PS. I am so embarrassed that I haven’t posted since **gasp** December! That’s what happens when I focus on the back end stuff of running a business – there is really only so many hours in a day. Not to mention… continued physical therapy and doctor visits… hoping to have all that behind me soon….
