Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay and Mercari are best for nationwide reach. Facebook Marketplace is excellent for a quick local sale to parents avoiding shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Always test the electronics and mention if batteries are included. Use keywords like 'Moana Costume,' 'Maui Hook,' and 'Disney Roleplay.' If the light-up feature works, take a photo in a dimly lit room to show the glow effects. Clean scuffs with a magic eraser before photographing.
