Where We Are<\/h4>\n
Based on that, you can probably guess where the markets have gone, but let\u2019s write it out for posterity (or something):<\/p>\n
- \n
- Fuel points rates have dropped between 25% and 33% this month<\/li>\n
- BestBuy rates have been slowly climbing from approximately 92% to 94%<\/li>\n
- Apple rates have been holding at between 93% and 94%<\/li>\n
- Home Depot rates have fallen to around 92%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Other standbys like Marshalls, Nike, Foot Locker, and Neiman Marcus rates have stayed relatively constant, I think because buyers tend to focus less on these brands.<\/p>\n
The Future<\/h4>\n
In Q3 of last year, BestBuy rates crept up to 97% for bulk resale which made most Kroger 4x events quite profitable. Assuming BestBuy starts discounting its inventory for back-to-school sales, or because there may be a recession<\/a>, I expect rates to climb to the same ball-park as they did last year. When that happens, shifting buyer interest will cause HomeDepot and Apple rates to creep up even higher too.<\/p>\n
Finally, big earnings from AmEx 99 employee card offers will largely be exhausted, which will remove many buyers from the market and probably also push up rates.<\/p>\n
