Ready for the most painfully obvious up-trend graphic in Terapeak blog history?

Boom! Check it out!

Alright, duh, so it’s no surprise that Easter collectibles are shooting up as the big weekend approaches… But what are a few of the more in-demand listings that use “Easter” as a keyword? We ran a 30-day search for “Easter” and sorted the 296,173 (!!!) listings by bids… Apparently the following items have made good investments lately:

• Girls’ dresses
• Vintage/jeweled eggs
• Homemade candies
• Wicker baskets
• Bunny rabbit costumes

Browsing the many pages of search results, it’s hard to imagine many of these items selling so well in months other than March or April, which again goes to show the seasonality of eBay and related marketplaces.

As for selling opportunities this season, you’re likely a hair late if you’re just now thinking of getting in on the Easter game, but it’s never (ever, ever!) too early to start thinking a year ahead!
