Hallow’s eBay: Trick-or-treaters go online for hot costume ideas

Oof! Look what time of year it is again!

Yes, yes, tis officially the season to be thinking about the December holidays — but check out that 90-day total listings trend for “Halloween.” It’s a season unto itself, where clearly there is money to be made. Last year it seemed everyone and their cat dressed as the Joker from The Dark Knight… so what does this year have in store?

Based on the recent success of True Blood and Twilight, we’re gonna go out on a limb (yeah right) and suggest vampires might be one common theme this year… But who else? Michael Jackson? Kanye West? John and Kate Gosselin? Whoever it is, they’ll be a big part of these ridiculous two-year total sales trends for “Costumes & Reenactment Attire > Costumes” and “Holiday & Seasonal > Halloween”:

This TP-blogger, meanwhile, is set to go as Michael J. Fox’s Teen Wolf — so if anyone knows where to acquire mass amounts of body hair…

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.
