Slightly OT Seller/Dealer/EBay Question

[wdwfan]

I know when it came to my shop, December was my busiest month while January and February were my slowest. It was miserable during the first 2 months. During December, though, I would be constantly busy, delivering supplies, boxes, whatever to people that couldn't get by the shop. Selling singles, boxes, packs, supplies, oddities, etc. with a lot of those going for Christmas presents.

I've never sold enough online (only sell about 10-15 items per month) to monitor it that closely. I do know I've been able to get some deals on sports cards this month. So maybe that means not as many people are buying stuff. But it's hard to tell because pretty much everything listed now is BIN instead of auction format for some reason.

I know I rambled a bit. But I wanted to show both sides (internet and brick and mortar) of selling/buying late in the year.
