sold two items

Well, Its nice to have a sale now and then, and today I got two! One on ebay and one of Etsy. On one site I sold something I paid $2.00 for and the other I paid $3.00 for. One I bought at a thrift store and one at a local fleamarket. I got 19.99 on ebay and $20 on Etsy. I'd say thats a good day, and a good profit. Ebay has been real slow lately. Use to be I was selling left and right there. all I had to do was list, and like magic it sold! I did have a sale there last month. I was finding these cute little glass decanters. They looked like a man or woman. The stopper had a face in it. I was listing them starting at 9.99 and paying from $2.00 to $3.oo for them. Then I found one that was a woman and one a man in the same color aka a pair! Well the pair sold for over $45 and a single man sold for $56 and one I only got 9.99 for. I guess it really depends who is looking at what times. Come to find out they are very collectible. I have seen them listed as Blenko glass and some other European or Italian glass. One was listed on Ebay starting at $177 in England. I am happy enough with the profit I made and now someone is happy that they got a bargain with thier purchase. What better day could I have?
Another good thing to come from my sales. I was looking for a toddler gift and saw a plea on Etsy for sales from someone having a difficult time in thier lives right now. Since I had 2 sales today, i purchased a handmade clown doll for the toddler gift, and not only got a great handmade gift, I made someone elses day too!

check out the teapots at my favorite pottery!

If your looking for a teapot thats so unique its one of a kind you have to check out this potter. I met him personally last summer when we traveled from our home in Connecticut to Hickory North Carolina on vacation. I love to collect face jugs. Yes, Southern Pottery face jugs and if you don't know what they are go to ebay and search face jugs. They are awesome! But anyway, I stumbled upon this potter and emailed him and we talked and he was going to make me a face jug, so while we were on vacation we stopped into his studio. He was so down to earth and friendly. His studio is in his home in Hickory. His work is popular and he is represented by many galleries. But I found his teapots so interesting I want to pass it along to you. His name is David Bellar and this is his website. Please have a look at his teapots especially but all his work is exceptional I think. www.carolinapottery.com

Bakugan !

Yes! The name of the next big Christmas disappointment for many many little boys ages 5 to 10!
Grab them now if you see them in the stores, because come Dec. 25 th you wont be able to find them. Thats my prediction . THESE little magnetic balls with the metal cards are the next big craze sweeping the world, after Pokemon!

I copy it and then???? I need to get someone to help me I want to find out if ANYONE is listening to me and reading these or am I wasting my time?

Selling on ETSY and EBAY

Well no sales this week. When I sit down and figure, its like Ebay s fees are getting too high for the amount I sell. I list like 13 things this week and sold 1. So I think that might have to change. As far as sunnfox.etsy.com goes, I have been there a month and sold 13 things. The community there is much nicer than Ebay though. I just wish there were more buyers. Someone put stats up the other day in the forumns and said there were like 125,ooo sellers registered on Etsy and like 5 times that in buyers registered there. If that is true where oh where are all the buyers.? I know Etsy is confusing because its mainly a site that sells " all things handmade" but vintage is the "other" catagory allowed besides a few supplies. There are some wonderful vintage clothing on that site so if your into that please take a look. I sell mostly retro items, and vintage art glass, myself, so if you have a 50's kitchen and love aqua check my store out. I have some vintage pyrex, some vintage hats, vintage stretch glass, Murano, some beautiful fabric for the dinning room, a few vintage purses, which seem to be a best seller there, sent one to Scotland last week, and many other ceramic and collectible items. I think its really a nice store. I even have a goregous blue and aqua Picasso scarve, which is a nice stocking stuffer for a business woman. There are some pretty unique things that could be bought for Christmas. Especially if you have someone who is hard to buy for.
