Reading AuctionBytes: SortPrice: Big-Ticket Items Dominate Consumer Wish-Lists

Canon digital cameras and Nintendo Wiis topped the list of the ten most searched-for products on Sortprice.com shopping engine. Sortprice.com spokesperson Dave Felipe said that what stands out is the fact that, "despite expectations to the contrary, electronics and "big ticket items" are still dominating consumer wishlists this holiday season. In particular, with regard to searches for the Nintendo Wii, we're seeing many additional shoppers adding the term "in stock" to either "Nintendo Wii" or "Wii Fit" since it's apparent retailers cannot keep these game systems in stock to meet demand."

  • Canon Digital Cameras
  • Nintendo Wii
  • Apple Ipod Touch
  • Samsung Plasma TVs
  • Wii Fit
  • Macbook Pro
  • Sony Blu-Ray Disc Player
  • KitchenAid Mixers
  • Garmin GPS
  • Ugg Boots

Sortprice.com provided the data based on searches from mid-November through the morning of December 3, 2008.
