Sale on select items

[source2resource]

I was thinking about running an after Christmas sale on some of my Christmas Items I have listed but have not sold.   I do not even know where to start as far as marking them down say 15-20%.   Looking for suggestions on where to start.  Thank You & Happy Holidays.

The standard retail post-Christmas discount seems to be 50% so I'm not sure that 10% or 15% off would move the needle for you. B&M stores near me were marking down Christmas decorations 30% to 50% a week or two ago. If giving those kinds of discounts means the items aren't worth selling, you could try 10-15% and see if it works. You could also plan to take them off the market until October or November and try again next year.  Good luck!

Without knowing your costs it is just a guess. Just like the B & M's who say they are marking something down 50%, we really have no idea if it is a good buy without knowing costs. It is just a psychological game played on people to think if it says 50% off then it must a good buy.

I would either leave the ads up as they are or pull them and relist next fall, as previous poster suggested.  I do that and some items are listed 2 or 3 years before they sell.

You need to have a STORE on eBay to run any 'sales'.

Home Depot does 75% off; bought our $400 9' Lighting Tree for $100 2 years ago.
