1/4 of Adults sell unwanted Christmas pressies!

Friday, January 4th, 2013

Cash is tight in January!

You may have heard it on the radio or read it in the newspaper but we have done some research and have found that 1/4 of Irish adults have sold their unwanted pressies online and 41% of people included in our survey by Amarach Research said they would be willing to sell unwanted gifts online!

As we all know January can be a very difficult month financially for people, so the selling of unwanted pressies online is becoming increasingly popular with Irish adults.

 Other interesting things that we found out were:

  • Younger people are much more likely than older people to sell gifts online in order to raise some cash ; 30% of 18-24 year olds have done so, as have 34% of 25-24 year olds and 29% of 35-44 year olds, compared to 24% of 45-54 year olds and only 8% of those aged 55 and over
  • Young people were also most likely to consider buying second hand presents online, with 69% of the under 25s saying they would do it to save money
  • 3/5 people said they would buy second hand gifts online.

So what are you waiting for? Get DoneDealing now and make some cash to give your January a lift!
