Pretty Sales Machine: Nine Inch Nails auctioning “hundreds of items” on eBay

Last August, after hearing that Miley Cyrus had put some of her own clothing and schwag up for charity auction, we wondered aloud whether sellers of other Miley/Hannah-related goods would benefit — and according to Terapeak trend reports, they did.

This week, and over the next couple months, we’ll be tracking a similar series of auctions…

Or, relatively similar anyway.

According to Nine Inch Nails’ official website, the industrial rock band, which in September announced it had played its final show, has begun auctioning off “a large selection of gear and equipment”, including “guitars, keyboards, amplifiers, drums, staging, anvil cases, cables, rack/outboard gear, guitar effects, and pedal boards.”

You can view NIN’s seller page here to see the various items currently up for auction, all of which have already seen a considerable number of bids. And with nearly a week to go in each of these auctions (plus more to come in the next “several weeks”), it’ll be interesting to see the final prices these items fetch.

(Hey, we might even see a NIN-shaped dent in the Terapeak Guitar Index!)

As for your own sales, now might be a good time to see if your old copy of Downward Spiral is still lying around. Or to invest in mottled, paint-spattered, gross-looking sleeveless shirts

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.
