Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay, Poshmark, and Facebook Marketplace are best for individual sales. Local sales help avoid the shipping risk of resin breakage.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Teacher Gift', 'Graduation', and 'Book Lover'. Calculate shipping carefully as resin is lightweight but needs bubble wrap. Since the purchase price was $9.99, profit margins will be slim unless bundled with other Willow Tree items.
