Some sellers have asked me about missing "the season." This is just a confirmation of what would seem logical but, FWIW, the number of classic/vintage coach ads on Craigslist (that spans about 14 brands, not just GMCs) is dropping quickly. The peak was in the first 2 weeks of August. It's already dropped by roughly half.
The traffic trend graphs I followed on GMCs were very familiar to me as they mimicked online resort tourism --an industry I have almost 20 years experience in. Again, that's logical.
So, assuming that the coach market continues to follow the above patterns, the low point of the season will -literally- be Christmas day. It'll start ticking up Dec 26th and then shift into 2nd gear in April and then shift in high gear in June.
I don't specifically track ebay ads, but I do eyeball them almost daily. It appears that the pattern holds there, too.
All the above is based on seller's ads. Other than anecdotal information, I don't know much about buyers.
