Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Depop (best for DIY/aesthetic items), or a local college-town flea market.
Selling Tips
Market this as 'Dorm Decor' or 'Ironic Movie Merch.' Highlight the handmade nature. Since the resale value is low compared to shipping costs, sell locally or bundle with other room accessories to make shipping worthwhile.
