Hi, I was pleased with my beginning to middle of October sales, then, it began to dwindle down, Most of my buyers have been from up north and Mid West a smathering from California. Then all of a sudden my last 10-12 sales have been from the State of Texas. All diferent items, from all diferent parts of the Sate. Has anyone else noticed a concentration from any specific area, or just the usual general spread out locations?

YES! I seem to be getting a lot of buyers from Alaska! In 2+ years, I've probably had 1 buyer from Alaska until last month.

Hmmm.. could be word of mouth traveling to your auctions? If the person in Texas shows his neighbor his neat "find" on your auction, then the neighbor bids next, etc..
My sales seem to be concentrating in the Pennsylvania area. I'm from Indiana, so I do get quite a bit from here, but the past 2 weeks, I've had at least 10 from PA. I looked them up on the map and it seems they are all from nearby towns.

I'm in Western Pennsylvania and it surprises me how often I ship to Texas , Michigan and Pa . I sell old / collectable items of all kinds . I often send New Jersey related things to New Jersey & so on , of course , but people from Michigan buy more ( especially lately ) general collectables ( not connected / related to a specific geographical area )from me than do folks from any other one state. Must be generally a nice combination of leisure time / disposable income there .

HI, I neglected to say where I am from, I am from south Florida. My Texas streak has just been broken receiving winning bidders from Ohio, Brooklyn, Iowa, Michigan, the last one was Texas however.
