e-cigarettes have become increasingly popular among people who want to quit smoking. These are battery-powered devices which are far less punitive than cold turkey or nicotine patches.
Our SaleHoo Research Lab finally shows promising data for them, too!
Sell-through Rate: Did you really find a hot niche?
For the month of June 2012, e-cigarettes had a sell-through rate of 55.25%, not bad! Let's keep looking at what else the SaleHoo Research Lab has to say about e-cigarettes.
Median End Price: Is there enough room for profit?
As of last month, e-cigarettes had a median end price of $11.61. Please note that the median end price on eBay can be ambiguous because the median end price is for all listings of e-cigarettes. This can include bulk listings that sell two or more e-cigarettes in a single listing. This can skew data.
So just how much are eBay sellers selling e-cigarettes for? To give us a more accurate idea of how much e-cigarettes are selling for on eBay, we can refer to the Research Lab’s snapshot. The snapshot below shows that the average price of an e-cigarette is $17.00.
Total Listings, Total Bids and Total Sellers: How viable is your market?
As of June the total number of bids recorded for e-cigarettes was 1,776 while there are only 362 listings which means there was almost 5 times as many bids as there listings!
You can definitely take this as a good sign to start listing - demand is certainly exceeding supply!
Data Trends: Are sellers hitting their target?
The highest recorded revenue was $942.35 last June 17th while the lowest recorded revenue was $351.58 which was recorded just the day before.
Based on the graph majority of the sales are well within $500 so sellers are certainly making money selling e-cigarettes.
