Would you be surprised to know that the Boy Scout category of eBay is still ringing in about $100,000+ in sales each week and in fact in a recent 30-day clip (Nov 14 – Dec 13) the sales topped $500,000+! Now I’m sure there is a lot more to the story as far as which niches are up and down but I think as a general barometer that is a pretty healthy number. I’ve pulled these charts and I think they give a good snapshot of what is happening in the category. Of course in the Hot Finds Newsletter I’m always trying to unite the buyers and sellers to do my part in pushing these numbers higher.
