Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor, or local Yard Sales. Shipping this item would be cost-prohibitive due to height and shade fragility.
Selling Tips
Wipe down the metal with a microfiber cloth to remove dust. Photograph it turned on with a warm-toned bulb to show ambiance. Use keywords like 'Traditional,' 'Classic,' 'Bronze,' and 'Pull-Chain.' Sell locally to avoid shipping risks.
