Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy for collectors seeking specific pieces; Facebook Marketplace for local pickup to avoid high shipping costs due to weight.
Selling Tips
Weight is your biggest hurdle; these are heavy and require significant bubble wrap. Use 'Calculated Shipping' on eBay. Use keywords like 'Farmhouse', 'Vintage Pfaltzgraff Village', 'MCM Kitchenware', and 'Nesting Bowls'.
