So that got us thinking about polishing up the barbecue, tying off the old hammock, plopping a few new seeds in the veggie patch… As undoubtedly many others have already begun doing!

Which brings us to these latest three categories in our Summer Watch series, all taken from the Yard, Garden & Outdoor Living parent category. As you can see from the following 90-day eBay.com Total Sales trends, there’s much profit to be made from tracking seasonal shifts closely — and we highly recommend you dig around further in other categories, even if just to study trend lines!

First up, a staple, #79685: Gas Grills & Accessories

Next, a should-be staple (at least wherever we’re hanging out!), #20719: Hammocks

And finally, an absolutely red-hot category (half a million in daily sales!), #1509: Plants, Seeds & Bulbs

The following trend-lines show total sales over the past three months:

First up, Category #36145: Freshwater Fishing

Next up, Category #36117: Tents

And finally, Category #145993: Kites

And that’s but a very brief sample of literally thousands of summer markets — many of which will likely continue to climb through April and May. So there you go, if you’re a seller with a vision for summer, you’ve got that many more reasons to look forward to the season!

(Bad rhyme, sorry!)
