Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy, eBay, or Mercari are best for small collectibles. It could also sell well as an add-on item in a Depop shop or at a local flea market.
Selling Tips
Take a clear, focused macro photo of the front and a photo of the back showing the back-stamp. Use keywords like 'Steamboat Willie', 'Mickey Mouse', 'Disney Pin Trading', and 'Enamel Pin'. Ship in a small bubble mailer to ensure the post doesn't bend it.
