Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for vintage crystal collectors. Facebook Marketplace is viable for a quick local sale to avoid shipping risks.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Vintage Coupe,' 'MCM Cocktail,' and 'Fostoria Navarre.' Photograph against a dark, solid background to highlight the etching. Bundle as a set; single glasses are harder to sell. Double-box for shipping with plenty of bubble wrap.
