Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the primary recommended platform for holiday collectibles. Etsy is an excellent secondary choice if categorized as vintage. Facebook Marketplace is suitable for local sales to avoid high shipping costs due to the heavy wood base.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'Artisan,' 'Old World,' and 'Victorian' in the title. Take close-up photos of the face and the fabric texture. Due to the wooden base, this item is heavy; offer calculated shipping and ensure it is double-boxed to prevent the resin face from chipping during transit. Best sold in Q4.
