What do a Nintendo Switch, Hatchimal, and the iPhone 11 Pro have in common? These are among the most popular selling items on eBay with the potential to fetch some serious cash.
eBay tapped into holiday sales data from 2018 and 2019 to determine the trending items across a variety of categories and their average selling prices. The iPhone 11 Pro is the most popular tech gadget on eBay, being nearly 60% more popular than the iPhone 11. And although the Monopoly board game was eBay’s top selling toy last holiday season - Fortnite Monopoly and Monopoly for Millennials secured the top two spots - Hatchimals beat Monopoly for most popular toy in 2019.
If you have any of these products lying around? It’s time to get selling. Many of this year’s top selling products can even bring in close to the same amount as their retail value when sold on the marketplace.
“At eBay, we’re always looking to help our community of sellers understand what people are buying and arm them with the right tools for success. Whether you have a surplus of inventory, unused items taking up space or gifts that weren’t quite right, there’s always someone among eBay’s millions of buyers who want to purchase what you’re selling,” said Marni Levine, VP, Seller Operations and Engagement. “This year, hot tech, toys and sneakers are what’s in-demand - happy listing!”
