Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or local flea markets. Often best sold as part of a 'jewelry lot' or 'bundle' to justify shipping costs.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Goth', 'Industrial', 'Statement Necklace', and 'Monochromatic'. Take a photo on a mannequin neck to show how it drapes. Clean with a damp cloth to remove fingerprint oils before shooting.
