Where are eBay communities?

Based on the number of transactions per capita during the sample period, eight of the top 10 most active eBay communities are smaller towns. Lumberton, N.J., was the most active community, followed by Nashville, Tenn., Henderson, Nev., Las Vegas; Talpa, Texas, Graton, Calif., Farmington, Ky., Coaldale, Colo., Indian Trail, N.C., and Walnut, Ind.

Story here.

Possible explanations:

  1. Lower opportunity cost of time the further you are from more densely populated areas.
  2. Better access to factory outlets.
  3. Aging population (more estate sales).
