Webkinz Pink Poodle - How to Get The Best Deal

Ok I have to admit I love stats and research just about any purchase over 10 bucks, sad I know.  Anyway I just wanted to share some data that helped me pick up a Webkinz Pink Poodle for my daughter, for the low low price of just over 6 bucks.  How did I find this bargain?  Well two reasons, I bought it on Sunday and I used GetItNext to power my search on eBay (shameless self promotion).

So why is Sunday so important?  Well Sunday historically (last 30 days) is the cheapest day to buy a Webkinz Pink Poodle.  On Sunday the average price is $7.77 with Thursday being the 2nd lowest day at $8.58.  Buyers should avoid Wednesday's, the average price is $14.15 which is much higher than the average market price of $11.03.

Webkinz Demand is Down Time to Buy - Collectors and Consumers

I was checking out google trends and also monitoring sales on eBay of recent Webkinz sales.  Couple of things jumped out at me.  If you look at the stats you'll notice that starting in August and thru Sept Webkinz sales have been going down.  This is bad for sellers/collectors and good for consumers.  Also sales stats on eBay are trending lower than usual for most Webkinz pets.

What does this mean for collectors and consumers?  Demand is low, which means now is the time to buy before the holiday rush and demand (ie prices) skyrocket.  Now if you're a seller or eBay store owner, I suggest you hold onto that inventory until the holiday rush hits and consumers are in a frenzy to find and purchase holiday gifts online.

It is also a great time as a collector or seller to pick up large quantities of bulk Webkinz lots.  Recently I've seen large lots selling on eBay at a deep discount, per product price in the $3-6 dollar range which leaves plenty of profit if you can resell for 10-14 dollars a few months later.

Golf Ball Bargains are Plentiful

When I was in my late teens and early twenties one of my hobbies was grabbing my fishing gear and wading through a couple of different sections of rivers that I knew wouldn't produce any trout.  Why would I do this you ask?  Even though I would never catch a fish, every time I left the stream my creel was overflowing with, GOLF BALLS.  You see my friends the fish were the secondary goal, golf balls were the catch of the day.

Back in those days I was in the golf league at work and used to show all the guys my perfect titleist balls and they couldn't believe it.   Word quickly spread and before you knew it I had quite a business going at work.  I would charge $5-$10 a dozen depending on brand and condition.  I even had a couple of local deli's put buckets of them in their stores and sold them while I slept.  Business was good and I had a process to scrub the balls so that most would be perfect unless there was a cut or scuff on the ball, in those cases those balls went into my shag bucket.

I actually still have 1000's of golf balls in the basement all sorted and cleaned, enough so I'll never need to buy another ball again, ever.  Now I know there are a lot of golfers that would never consider using a ball that has been on the bottom of the river, even though there have been studies proving there is nothing wrong with using them.  But for alot of golfing addicts and hacks, its a little known secret and helps us save a ton of dough.  Why spend $40-50 on a dozen brand new titleist or nike balls when you can pick up 50 ball for $10-20 bucks on eBay.  Heck is such a big seller that I've seen some high end country clubs selling used balls.  Know where they got em?  Yup bottom of the pond or the stream. 

Listed below are some of the best used golf ball deals on eBay (powered by getitnext):
Titleist Golf Ball
Nike Golf Ball
Callaway Golf Ball
Maxfli Golf Ball
Top Flite Golf Ball
Precept Golf Ball
Pinnacle Golf Ball
