Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for reaching specialized glass collectors. Facebook Marketplace is viable for local sales but may fetch a lower price due to shipping risks.
Selling Tips
Always use 'Fenton' and 'Satin Glass' in the title. Take a photo of the lamp lit from within to show the glow. Wrap extremely well in double-layer bubble wrap as these are fragile and the lid is prone to sliding during transit.
