World War II Memorabilia eBay Trends

December 15, 2009

Although it might not always seem like it the trend across time in the WWII category is pretty steady.  To illustrate my point I've inserted a couple of graphs that show both the average number of sold items and the sales totals for the last year or so.  What you can see is that there are just a few general trends.  Sales in the category tended to dip around Christmas as collectors focused on buying things for others instead of filling their own wish lists.  You can also see that during the summer months there is a bit of a lag which generally recovered in the fall.  I'm sure the state of economy has something to do with these numbers as well.

The other graphs represent a 30-day snapshot of what the category did recently.  The interesting spikes in the graph illustrate the fact that there is one particular day each week that seems to be the peak of auctions ending in the category.  Anybody want to guess what day that is?
