Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for targeted searches), Etsy (vintage category if 20+ years old), Mercari, or local Facebook Marketplace (specifically 'Grandmacore' or religious decor groups).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Inspirational,' 'Religious Art,' 'Pink Angel,' and 'Serenity Collection.' Package extremely well with double boxes or heavy bubble wrap, as resin wings are highly brittle. Photograph against a plain white background to make the pink tones pop.
