Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari (most popular for Squishmallows), eBay, or Facebook Marketplace (local pick-up to avoid shipping costs).
Selling Tips
Spot clean the stain on the tentacle with a damp cloth and mild detergent before listing. Use keywords like 'Squishmallow Mary Octopus,' 'Winking,' and 'Tie Dye.' Take photos in bright, natural light to showcase the pink colors. Mention 'Smoke-free home' if applicable, as plush buyers are sensitive to odors.
