Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy. eBay is best for reaching the widest range of collectors; Etsy is ideal if marketing it as 'Vintage' decor (20+ years old).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Whimsical Frog,' 'Timmy's World,' 'Anthropomorphic,' and 'Kitsch.' Ensure you photograph the underside to show any branding. Mention the 'speckled' or 'mottled' paint effect clearly so buyers don't mistake it for dust.
