Over the last 30 days, 153 of these catalogs were placed up for bid on the eBay marketplace, with 73% of them successfully ending in a sale. The average selling price was $45 for each catalog. But there were some high-sellers in the bunch, as well. A 176 page Wish List Sears catalog from 1943 sold for $305 and a 439 page catalog from 1952 sold for $255.

“We definitely found a few gems in these catalogs,” says Jen Cano, HammerTap spokesperson. “And our research into last year’s listings of the same item showed an equal trend. This likely indicates that we will see sales for these books remain steady during the holiday season for years to come.”

In-depth research into the catalogs showed that listings that included the word Roebuck increased the average selling price from $45 to $96, a $50 increase in selling price. In addition, 100% of listings with the word Roebuck in them ended in a sale.

Cano advises vintage book sellers to keep an eye out for the Sears catalog all through the coming year as a sure profit-maker for the next holiday season on the eBay marketplace. She also suggests that when it’s time to sell, sellers use an eBay market research tool to find simple ways to increase profits.

CARRERA VINTAGE SUNGLASSES KEEP SINGER LADY GAGA SHADED IN STYLE IN HER NEWEST MUSIC VIDEO "BAD ROMANCE". Clicca qui per vedere il comunicato stampa in italiano.

PADOVA, Italy, November 12 /PRNewswire/ — CARRERA, one of the most recognized sunglass and sport eyewear brands in the world from Safilo Group, has announced the inclusion of its "Champion" sunglass model in the latest Lady Gaga music video "Bad Romance," the lead single off the singer's upcoming album The Fame Monster.

"Bad Romance" contains all of the elements that have made Lady Gaga's videos widely embraced since her debut single last year. The highly stylized video finds Lady Gaga performing within a controversial and risqué environment, which enhances Lady Gaga's overall sensuality and vulnerability. The Fame Monster builds upon Lady Gaga's debut album The Fame, with eight new tracks including "Bad Romance."

The CARRERA sunglass model "Champion," the brand's signature and most colourful style in its recently relaunched "vintage collection," adorns Lady Gaga during the video. With the narrative set against a crisp and clean landscape, the distinctive and fashionable eyewear enhances Lady Gaga's fearless and confident performance.

"Bad Romance" is currently in rotation on all major musical broadcast and on-line outlets.

The Carrera "vintage collection" features new fashion sunglass styles that resonate with young and stylish trendsetters around the world. Customized with iconic retro detailing, the new models from Carrera have achieved cult status and make a bold fashion statement.

The highly unique and recognizable aviator shape of the "Champion" sunglasses are inspired by the original design first introduced in the early Eighties and produced in Optyl (registered trademark of Safilo), an extremely lightweight and hypoallergenic material.

Dolce first started out in his designer career by working within the clothing business that his father owned. Following his original work experience, Dolce moved into study as a fashion designer. In 1980 Dolce then went on to be an assistant designer within the workshop that was located in Milan. It was in the workshop that Dolce met Gabbana. In 1982 the two designers opened their own studio.

Dolce and Gabbana is one of the biggest designer names within the world, which is one reason that their products including sunglasses are so popular. Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses are recognized as being a number one fashion accessory. It is very important to choose the best eyewear as it does not only protect your eyes but it can also make a big difference to your appearance, which may be why these sunglasses are very popular.

The best style of sunglasses will vary from person to person as it depends on the individual person's facial features. Therefore, what looks good on one person may not suit the next. For people that have a round face they will probably suit sunglasses that have more of a rectangular shape to them. People that have long shaped faces tend to suit sunglasses that have either round frames or square frames. If you have more of an oval shaped face then the metal rimmed sunglasses will probably be the best style to opt for. There is a vast array of different sunglasses that are available for both men and women.

Dolce And Gabbana sunglasses are well known and respected for being very fashionable, and their products tend to use an array of different modern colors and designs that are contemporary. The Dolce and Gabbana company makes an array of items that include handbags, mobile phones, watches and of course also clothes.

There are two main lines of products that the Dolce and Gabbana company use. These are Dolce and Gabbana that is concerned with the luxurious items which are more formal and more of a long term trend. The other line is D & G. This one is concerned with flashy items that are more of a trendsetter for the younger generation. All of the Dolce and Gabbana items carry the nametag and they are all produced in Italy. All of these items can be found within the expensive department stores all around the world. Over the last few years the Dolce and Gabbana company name has gone from strength to strength and it is now very well known all across the world.
