Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for vintage decor collectors. Facebook Marketplace for local buyers looking for 'Eclectic' or 'Moody' home accents.
Selling Tips
Do not over-polish; many buyers prefer the aged 'patina' look. Use keywords like 'Repousse', 'Tavern Scene', 'Embossed Brass', and 'English Pub Decor'. Photograph with a ruler to show size and include a clear photo of the back hangers.
