Gary Ruplinger and HotHolidayProducts.com have announced a new training seminar that will teach entrepreneurs and eBay sellers how to really profit from the upcoming holiday shopping season by selling toys.
According to CNN, two thirds of toy sales take place in November and December. For eBay sellers, this is the best time of the year to be in the toy business as prices for toys sold at auctions always go up in those two months. This is also the time of the year when some toys become hard to find, and can sell for two or three times the retail price.
Last year some of the most profitable toys for sellers were the Sony Playstation 3, the Nintendo Wii, and the TMX Elmo.
While there are no new game system releases this year, demand for the Nintendo Wii has remained high, and it will likely continue to command a premium price on eBay for the second holiday season in a row.
Popular toys for 2007 include the Fisher Price Smart Cycle, Monopoly Banking Edition, and the TMX eXtra Special Edition Elmo.
"Just buying and selling the hottest toys isn't a smart move for the eBayer," says Ruplinger. "What you need to find are the toys where demand is ahead of supply. For example, last year the Playstation 3 and TMX Elmo were tough to find on store shelves, and sold for big premiums on eBay. On the teleseminar, I'll be talking about what those items are this year, and how to get them."
As a special bonus, Mr. Ruplinger also noted that there will be a portion of the call devoted to profiting from the day after Thanksgiving specials, commonly referred to as "Black Friday." "A lot of people have come to hate shopping on Black Friday, but for an eBay seller, this can be one of the most profitable days of the year for you. You can get up early, get great deals, and have them listed on eBay all before the college football games start, and in the process you can earn $2,000 or more."
The training seminar will be taking place on November 19th at 9:00 EST and to register you can visit http://www.hotholidayproducts.com/
