Holy eBay, Batman! The Dark Knight leads superheroes in recent sales!

Duh.

While cooking up our latest index-widget value meal, no one was surprised to find Batman mopping the floor with his crime-fighting allies. In not even four full weeks, summer blockbuster The Dark Knight has grossed $440 million domestically, and looks destined to give Titanic a run for highest-earner ever. Over the past 30 days, that’s led to 140,000-plus eBay sells for Gotham’s finest — incredibly, more than Superman and Spider-man combined.

With Terapeak’s new superheroes index, you can compare the total listings, total sales, and average selling price of eBay’s top-10-selling superheroes, from Iron Man to Spawn to Captain America. Running near-last in all categories is Green Lantern, but with a Warner Bros. film in the can for 2010, he’s one to keep an eye on. Finally, we apologize to fans of X-Men’s Wolverine, who was sadly omitted; he’s a top-seller, trust us, but the data’s just too skewed by the maize and blue of Michigan supporters, those weasels. (We mean that technically, weasels… wolverines… Mustelidae family…)

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.
- Onecrazyredhead, http://www.goodbuysallthetime.com & OSI Rock Star
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!
- Cheryl, www.GreenCastleDesigns.com, OSI Rock Star
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.
