Have a few things to unload soon.
Is it a good time to do it now?
(Holidays is referring to Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years)

There's several possibilities.

1) Everyone's away from home so less people will be buying on ebay = lower prices.
2) Everyone's off from work so they will be idling at home, checking ebay for Christmas gifts to buy = higher prices.
3) The number of people doing 1 and 2 will be the same, thereby cancelling each other out = same as non-Holiday.

i think if it is ending around that time but not like on or slightly before the day it should be better. people will be looking for last minute gifts, etc. most people don't take off till fairly close to the holidays too. so i would think if you sold around the time but not like on x-mas day you should do fine.
