Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy is the best platform for vintage aesthetics. eBay is secondary for collectors. Facebook Marketplace for local sales to avoid shipping risks.
Selling Tips
Avoid the dishwasher entirely; emphasize 'Hand Wash Only' in the listing. Use high-contrast photography against a black background to make the gold pop. Use keywords like 'MCM', 'Hollywood Regency', 'Gold Poppy', and 'Divided Serving Bowl'.
