Demand for Heath Ledger Memorabilia Soars on eBay

Heath Ledger’s star was already on the rise in anticipation for his role in the upcoming Batman sequel, the Dark Knight. His recent passing has sparked a huge increase in demand on eBay for anything associated with the actor.

Here is a trend from Terapeak Research showing the steep upswing in eBay listings with titles containing the actor’s name.

a 90 day trend for Total Listings containing the terms “Heath Ledger” and a 90 day trend for the Success rate of the sampled listings.

In the last week, listings have soared up to 400-500 per day, with a surprisingly high sell- through rate of between 70-90 %. The bulk of the listings are still firmly planted in the DVDs & Movies category (as was the case throughout the last 90 days), however the amount of listings in categories like Entertainment Memorabilia, Books, and Collectibles have all seen a dramatic increase.

I love Terapeak - what a great little tool. I've had it less than 2 weeks and it's already paid for my annual subscription.

Terapeak gives me the tools I need to maximize my sales & I was able to qualify for eBay's Top Rated Seller in my first 3 months of selling!

My sell-through rate is consistently over 55% and a large part of that success is due to Terapeak!

A day without Terapeak is a missed opportunity to make a profit...

With Terapeak research I don't have to guess when sourcing new product. I know what sells, when it sells and for how much it sells.

Terapeak helped me evaluate subniches and I was able to avoid costly mistakes of buying glass that looked great on paper until I found it sold slowly and priced too low to make a profit.

As an eBay Trading Assistant & Educational Specialist I couldn't be without this tool - I always recommend TERAPEAK to my students & when selling for others.

I can't imagine my business without my Terapeak membership. I sell for others so I rarely sell the same item twice. Terapeak helps me daily.

Terapeaks rocks! My sub-category is basically all Fixed-Price and Terapeak is the ONLY way to quickly find out what designs are selling the best!

I used Terapeak to evaluate my competitors' marketing and found strategies that worked and was surprised how many sellers lose money due to poor pricing and marketing.
