Selling Guide

eBay, Mercari, or Etsy (if emphasizing vintage decor). Also suitable for Facebook Marketplace for local buyers looking for cheap home decor.

Open the box to test the quartz movement with a fresh AA battery before selling. Include the phrase 'Shabby Chic' or 'Victorian Style' in the description to attract those specific decor niches. Offer calculated shipping as it is fragile and heavy due to the ceramic content.
