Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or local flea markets are best due to high shipping costs relative to item value. Mercari is a secondary option if bundled.
Selling Tips
Sell during the peak holiday season (Nov 1 - Dec 10). Use keywords like 'Farmhouse Christmas', 'Moss Deer', and 'Rustic Holiday Topiary'. Because these are prone to shedding, wrap in tissue paper rather than plastic to prevent condensation or further moss loss.
