Christmas season for coins on ebay

packers88

I really didn't sell anything on ebay last nov and dec since I was tied up with other things, however this year I plan on doing so and I was wondering in general are Nov and Dec strong months for coin sales on ebay?? Things were terribly slow in July and August for me and things did pick up in September and were pretty strong in October and I'm just wondering from seasoned ebay sellers if the Christmas shopping season carries into ebay coin sales??? If not are there certain months that are known to be better than others for ebay coin sales??

Great question, I also have a lot of stuff I'd like to list.
I wonder if this Sunday evening is a bad time to list due to folks in transit next weekend.
Maybe the Monday after Thanksgiving during the day is decent? Isn't that the busiest internet shopping day of the year?

It depends. If selling very high demand hard to get stuff, it doesn't really matter when it ends. If selling garden variety, readily available material, a holiday weekend ending is not a good idea.

For me July and Aug were very slow, but that's typical. September was better, and Oct was a strong month.
But so far, Nov has been extremely disappointing. It was my biggest month last year, but so far, it's dead.
Don't know if it's me, the coin market, or the economy in general. The national retail numbers seem good,
but that hasn't been my experience this year.
