Back to school season begins

[hipgirl]

The weekend newspaper inserts full of back to school ads. Office depot, Walmart, Macy's, Sears... ...

So it's the official back to school selling season. "gymboree nwt" search returns 16600 items on eBay, up about 35% from 7/10/07. It's time to list Fall clothes.

I was in 'back to school' campaign 2 years ago. From my experience, in back to school season--August, more clothes are sold but the ending bids are on low side. The reason is too many items available and moms still have enough time to shopping. The price will be higher in September but the risk is that you have to hold the leftovers for another year.

Everything back to school related is hot on eBay. for example, checkout this auction:

The crayola crayons, 40 boxes 24ct sold for $27.

What's the cost? Walmart sells it at 20 cents each. so 40x0.2=$8.

Not bad, right?
