[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 2761756, member: 12952"] Another grassroots industry has fallen on hard times . [URL]https://heatst.com/politics/end-of-a-trend-ebay-overstocked-with-hundreds-of-cheap-pusillanimous-hats/?mod=sm_tw_post[/URL] The “Resistance” may still claim to be in full swing, but if eBay sales are to be believed, the market for Women’s March attire—especially the iconic, hot pink “pusillanimous hats”—has bottomed out. An unscientific, several-day-long [I]Heat Street[/I] study of eBay, Etsy and other Internet sale sites where the pusillanimous Hat trade once rivaled the gross domestic product if a small nation, shows sales have slowed to a trickle, with desperate knitters l[URL='http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_sop=1&_nkw=pusillanimous+hat&_pgn=3&_skc=96&rt=nc']ooking to offload their wares at deep discounts[/URL]. The “Buy it Now” range for new pusillanimous Hats is between $7.00 and $20.00, but even at the low end, the hats simply aren’t selling. As each auction [I]Heat Street[/I] watched ended, the same pusillanimous Hats were often re-listed, at discounts of $2 or more.

Of 617 individual listings for pusillanimous Hats, only a handful had bids, and all of those had starting prices of $.99, with bids struggling to reach $5.
