    I really liked the bucket hat with butterflies at 7:00. Not nearly as much hard goods there. You did well.

    I like selling ties, but I don't pick up a ton since many don't live up to what I am looking for. But they are cheap, easy to list and easy to ship so I don't mind if it's not huge money. The last four I sold went for $11, $15, $20 and $25 consecutively. I do not look for specific brands. I look for unique patterns/styles - something that really stands out. There are definitely a lot of boring ties on the rack! If it's something I think I can come up with some good keywords for to attract a buyer who will pay what I'm charging, I generally go for it.

      Quilters use ties for a particular pattern or two. So a lotting up some in complimenting colors might be something to think about.
      I used to make ties into a game for our church festival. I'd stuff the bottom with beans, sew it up and use them as tosses in hula hoops. The kids loved it. The grown ups would sneak a throw or two in as well 😅

    I'm not a Blenko expert by any means but I don't think that base is Blenko. Two things lead me to believe that - (1) the smooth pontil. Blenko doesn't polish their pontils. And (2) the cut and polished top. Blenko doesn't do that either. On all the Blenko I've seen the top edge is rounded and not cut and polished flat. But it's still a nice vase and I probably would have gotten it as well for that price!

    I have sold several of my used puzzles. I put them together and take a photo before I sell them. That way, the buyer knows all the pieces are present. You probably don't have time to do that, but I love puzzles, and my selling is just a hobby, I don't have to turn things over quickly.

    • @katstreasurehunting
      @katstreasurehunting  2 місяці тому

      That's a great idea. Dalton and I tried it once because we do like puzzles but 2 pieces were missing so after days of putting together it was frustrating

      Click watch on all your own listings to fool eBay into thinking people are interested in your items.

      I’ve had the same issue- then, something with the algorithm will “ kick in” and suddenly I’m seeing sales, people are watching my items, etc… only to have it die out again in approximately one week, even though I continue listing, making offers on watched items, lowering prices etc. I’m kind of at my wit’s end as well!

      I found that when I share my listing to my Pinterest or FB page I made for reselling it helps boost my sells. I share a bunch at once one item ar a time but prob can share all at once on the seller hub ♥️

    Actually, counting the pieces isn’t even infallible. Sometime a 500 piece puzzle might have 504, etc.

    On the subject of crocheted blankets, I went to my first hoarder sale awhile back…no electricity in the house and it was a dark and stormy day…I managed to find one of the most beautiful granny square afghans I’ve seen, and so soft. Got it home, where I could see, and three of the squares are loose and several more headed in that directions…trying to decide it I should just write it off as a loss,or list with flaws. I paid $25 for a bag of Iinens, and have already made money back plus a bit more.Thoughts anyone?

    • @deanniehelget622
      @deanniehelget622 2 місяці тому +1

      Someone may buy the Afghan to use to make another one. You could also donate it to a shelter. I'm sure a homeless person would love it.

    • @dianemccoy7714

      It could easily be fixed. Just crochet the squares back together.
