Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Mercari are ideal for Partylite collectors. Facebook Marketplace is excellent for local sales to avoid high shipping costs due to the weight and fragility of the glass.
Selling Tips
Sell as a set rather than individually to maximize profit. Use keywords like 'Gothic,' 'Victorian Halloween,' 'Partylite Retired,' and 'Whimsigoth.' Ensure excellent padding for the glass cups when shipping. Photograph against a lighter background to show the detail of the black foliage.
