Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, eBay, and Etsy are best for shipping. Facebook Marketplace is suitable for local sales, though the low price point makes it an ideal 'add-on' or bundle item for online platforms.
Selling Tips
Polish the item before photographing; a bright shine significantly increases the sale price. Use keywords like '925', 'Sterling Silver', 'Italian', and 'Minimalist'. Always specify the length in inches and include a photo next to a coin for scale.
