On October 11, I wrote a blog post about Elmo Live, as it was due to be released that week. It has been almost a month now, and eBay is absolutely flooded with listings for Elmo Live. A few observations:

As of today, there are 983 active listings for Elmo Live, 1,795 listings for Elmo Live or Elmo Live related items have been completed

According to Terapeak, from the period of October 29 – November 4, 823 listings sold for a sell through rate of 31.35%.

Average selling price is $73.09.

Average start price is $19.25

475 of these listings were bid auctions.

I am wondering if sellers feel that Elmo Live is worth the trouble. Most retail shops sell it for $59.99, with tax the cost is around $63. Add in the fees, and profit is less than $10 to ship a rather bulky item.

Are you selling Elmo Live, and what has been your experience?
