Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Haunted Mansion', 'Hitchhiking Ghost', 'Phineas', 'Faux Wood', and 'Disney Parks Exclusive'. Ship with extra padding (double-box if possible) as resin can be brittle. List in late August or September to capitalize on the pre-Halloween surge in Disney haunt decor demand.
