What Does Your State Buy the Most on eBay? | Tennessee Valley Talks

Nobody loves a Roomba quite like the people of Delaware.

From 2013 to 2014, the nation's "first state" has been the top consumer of robotic vacuums from online shopping hub eBay. The Internet retailer analyzed which items states purchase the most, finding the top 500 brands for each state and then boiling them down to general categories.

From there, eBay figured out which items shoppers buy on its site the most, in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Curious revelations abound, like the fact that firearms are the most popular in New York, even though the state has one of the toughest gun laws in America. North Carolina buys the most baby products (despite not having the highest birth rate — that would be Utah), while the paranoid folks of Oregon buy the most security and surveillance items.

What does your state buy the most? Check out the infographic below.

I like Amazon myself. I used to try to buy my motorcycle tires locally, but got tired of hearing " I can order it". I just order them myself.

I have zero faith in this article. I think it is an advertisement for ebay; way to much variety with no repetitions.
