Dark Side of The Moon

Hi

I’m new to this forum but not to business in general . I have a product that I designed and had made in China ( cost effective).

I’ve been actively selling my product on eBay and have sold consistently 1 a day for 50 days now.

My ROI is extremely high and I have had zero complaints or come backs with regards to the quality of the product.

As above you can see the demand is extremely high .

My concern is due to its demand and the product being so niche (I’m the only person to sell this product) . I’m starting to think that if I continue to list and sell 1 a day, the appeal for the product may start to fall as it may look like it’s always available .

My thought process is that I should start to make the product more limited and slow down how many I advertise/sell per week.

I also think with this strategy I will be able to increase its value whilst I design and make another similar product to add to my inventory.

I would appreciate your thoughts

Hi there Congrats on the consistent sales — that’s a great sign your product has strong demand. Instead of holding back listings, you could create controlled scarcity (like limited batches),raise prices gradually, or add small variations to keep interest high. Social proof (reviews/sales count) also builds value without limiting availability. Most importantly, focus on building your brand now so you stay ahead when competitors eventually enter the niche.

Have you tried testing a slightly higher price yet to see how it affects demand?
