Reading AuctionBytes: Terapeak's eBay Hot-Search List: Computers & Networking, September 2005

Terapeak has analyzed the top eBay searches in the Computers & Networking category for the week of September 17 - September 23, 2005. Terapeak identified the top searches performed by eBay users by going to eBay Pulse and selecting the Computers & Networking category.

Note that the same search terms are often found in multiple categories on eBay. This week's hot-search list only looks at the search term in the one category being researched.

Terapeak then ran the hot-search list through its database of eBay market-data, licensed from eBay, to get key pieces of data about each item, including GMV (Gross Merchandise Volume); Success Rate; Items Sold; and ASP (average selling price).

Terapeak is an eBay certified service provider that provides eBay marketplace data and research services.
