Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for vintage glass ornaments. Facebook Marketplace is a secondary option for local, no-shipping sales during the holiday season.
Selling Tips
Remove the thrift store sticker carefully using a hair dryer or Goo Gone to improve presentation. Use keywords like 'Vintage Holiday,' 'Frosted Glass,' and 'Grandmillennial Christmas.' Ship in a sturdy box with ample bubble wrap as these are very fragile.
