Message:: [QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 28272, member: 51"]I'm a sucker for vintage Christmas, too. Love it. I have found the over the years, the best window to sell Christmas on Ebay is from second week of Nov through first week of Dec. Too early only dealers looking to resell buy it. By second week of December regular buyers already have their trees up and done buying." Agreed, by 2nd week of December, its over.  But I'm going to add my 2 cents on this.  I think the best time to sell Christmas on Ebay might be early October.  I know that sounds insanely early, but Ebay isn't saturated yet with holiday, and there are people already thinking Christmas and buying, not just dealers. I've wanted to test this theory in years past, and someone posted here, I think it was [USER=88]@bercrystal[/USER] with a 1980's ornament that sold for some tremendous amount under nice finishes, posted in early October.  So that week I thought, I'm going to put my vintage bottle brush tree up.  I've been trying to sell that for two holiday seasons.  It sold in 48 hours, just went back and looked, date was Oct 9th. I had a few other Christmas items that were also snapped up that week.  So even before Halloween!  If you have fixed price items, I think it can be a surprisingly good time.[/QUOTE]
