The big news broke about Barack Obama's choice of a running mate last night as I was finishing my Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie. Joe Biden, the Democrat Senator from Delaware is the man. I did a quick search with Terapeak to see how eBay items related to the Senator have been performing.
Between August 12 and August 18, there were only 12 (yes, one dozen) items with the keyword "Biden." The sell-through rate was only 25% with an average price of $6.31. Not too impressive by any stretch.
When I looked this morning, there were 150+ items. (Actually, when I started writing this post there were 140, now it's 152.) This is a good example of how to ride a wave of media coverage. Lots of items are obviously CafePress creations by quick thinkers. 
This phenomena will happen again during the run-up to John McCain's announcement, and the Republican convention. Will you be ready?
Some cool political memorabilia will be rolled out - such as Joe Biden's Senate cufflinks listed today. Here are the latest Joe Biden items. Will they be a good investment?
