A new map created by Internet-auction website eBay reveals the items each state purchases the most when using the online bidding service.

According to the map, those shopping in California mostly purchase high-end women’s apparel & accessories, while those looking for deals in Alaska are eager to find hats

A really fun map to mull over.

However, the maker of this article is not really clear - I thought really, every state buys totally different things - but what it is really is a statistical map for ebay of the each category portioned off - once a category is taken by the largest population state, the next state gets the "leftovers". So a other states than CA, for instance, may be top purchasers of fashion items but CA buys the most.

“Hydroponic supplies” ordered by the legalized, approved, certified drug dealers in Colorado. That figures.

Now I had mentioned just the other day in a post that more people are armed in NY than people realize. So they elect libs and then have to figure out a way to get in firearms. Sort of a soviet way to live, sort of sad to be ok with it.

My experience bears out the buying habits of each state. I live in FL, people here DO buy phones on ebay. In CO it is illegal to collect rainwater. Look - hydroponic equipment. And every young person I know in NY buys games.

Fun chart.

Can you tell the producers from the consumers by the chart?

I noticed on the “blue” New England states the only one that approaches freedom is New Hampshire, the home of the Free State project, and they have “packing materials”.

You can't but guns on E-Bay.

This is eBay’s chart. They must have some supplies of some sort that must go in that category.

All the guys in Texas are buying themselves more guns. All the guys in Californicate are buying themselves more “high end women’s’ apparel and accessories.” It figures......

Looks like Colorado aspires to autarchy with respect to its latest legal crop.

At first I thought “Maryland, men’s shoes?”

And then I remembered Bawlmer.

I’ll bet money on high dollar/fantastically hideous basketball shoes.

First of all as a NH resident, don’t believe the”Live Free or Die” mantra. That’s been moot for years as Massholes have moved up here and brought their socialism with them.
I deliver packages and I can tell you people sell a lot of things on EBay and Etsy ( not yet regulated by taxes) and order a lot of packaging materials.

“North Carolina must be producing a lot of anchor babies.”

My little hometown in North Carolina now looks like downtown Tijuana. My old high school is now about 75% Hispanic, zero when I was there.

Tennessee is dental products? I think not. This must be humor.

Yeppers...conservatives have been busy selling our small crap on eBay so there will be room on the moving truck for the important goods when we bail out of this soviet sh*thole. The potheads...er, 'Free Staters' can have it.
