I compared my sales from June 1-12 2022 with my sales from June 1-12 2023.
Total sales are almost identical, within 2% of each other.
Number of items sold is 27% higher in 2023 vs 2022
Median Selling price per item is significantly lower in 2023. 64 cents vs $1.49.
Looking at items selling over $2.50:
Number of items over $2.50 was 23% higher in 2023 vs 2022
In 2023, 7% of items sold were over $2.50. In 2022, it was 13% of items.
The dollar volume from items over $2.50 was nearly identical - within 6%.
The percentage of sales from items over $2.50 was nearly identical - 42% vs 43%.
I'm not sure if any of this can be extrapolated to the larger market. Part of the reason I am selling so much cheap stuff is that I have a higher emphasis on cheap stuff. But part of the reason I have a higher emphasis on cheap stuff is that those are the items which are selling.
For the past few days, I've been running a 25% off sale, which tends to bring out flippers and people who sort their COMC searches by "lowest price". But part of the reason I am having the sale is that sales were a bit sluggish for the first few days of June. Not falling off a cliff, but slightly lower than I'd like my daily average to be.
