Authenticity Indicators
Mass-market decorative item. Confidence level: High. Look for small 'Made in China' or retailer stickers (Target, West Elm, etc.) on the interior of the bands.
Flaws to Note
Possible minor surface scratches on the underside of the bands. Check for any loose weld points where the bands intersect, as these can occasionally snap if dropped.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace for local sale (no shipping costs), or Mercari for nationwide reach. It is better sold locally as the volume-to-weight ratio makes shipping expensive relative to the item's value.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Industrial Decor', 'Orbital Sphere', 'Geometric Sculpture', and 'Home Staging Prop'. To maximize profit, bundle it with other decorative objects or books. Photograph it against a lighter background to make the dark lines pop.
