Last year, I was doing very well in the fourth quarter up to the weekend after Thanksgiving. After that weekend, my sales slowed until after Christmas as I am sure things picked up as a result of gift cards etc. I have noticed the same thing happening during this fourth quarter as well. I was wondering if EBay collectible sellers on here experience anything remotely similar to this? Thank you in advance for your response.

Same experience as you (for the past few years) in regards to autographs. I assume it is a combination of (1) people buying ahead for those they realize may want such items as gifts and (2) people that do typically collect items curbing their spending for the holiday season. I feel this is further evidenced by the fact that my best period of sales is typically around tax season
