Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage aesthetics), eBay (best for global REACH), and Facebook Marketplace (best for fragile items to avoid shipping risk).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Arcoroc Pink,' 'Rosaline France,' 'Vintage Pink Glass,' and 'Swirl Pattern.' Photograph against a clean white or marble background with natural light to highlight the translucency. For shipping, wrap each piece individually in several layers of bubble wrap.
