What Sells Best on eBay

Not sure how helpful, if at all, this site might be but the following is a press release on a site which tracks the daily top selling items on eBay. Just thought I would pass it along. It is from a Webwire news release about the new tracking site called WhatSellsBest.com. I know, a bit of a slow day, but I should soon have some results from the Christie's Post War and Contemporary art sale.


WEBWIRE – Tuesday, June 30, 2009

You’ve probably heard the odd news stories about unusual items selling for extraordinary amounts on eBay. Like the piece of toast with the image of the Virgin Mary, that sold for $28,000 in 2004.

But if you’ve ever wondered what the top selling eBay items are, on any given day. Now there’s a place to find out. WhatSellsBest.com is a website which tracks the Top 20 Best Selling eBay items (in eBay’s most popular categories) on an ongoing basis.

When WhatSellsBest.com founder James Massey was asked what inspired him to publish the site? He replied; “I’ve always been a huge (PBS) Antiques Road Show fan and I became an eBay member in 1999. From the (eBay) beginning I’ve had a curiosity to find out what the best selling eBay Items were on any given day.”

“At first I was tracking eBay top sellers for my own interest. The prices some items were receiving were so extraordinary, I couldn’t help but start telling my friends. While some found it interesting, I noticed others would glaze over with sheer boredom as I recounted a seemingly endless list of items I’d seen sell. So spare a few friends, I decided stop talking about it, and published the site as a way to share the information with those who found it interesting.”
