Selling Vintage and Antiques
eBay’s changes and new rules make it a bit harder for ecommerce Indiepreneurs dealing in vintage and antiques to make a sale. Etsy, while a nice venue for handmade items, seems to put vintage items in second-class status.
If you’re a frustration dealer in the vintage and antique, here are a few online selling venues you may want to try.
HOW TO SET YOUR PRICE
Setting prices for your goods and services seems to be a stumper for Indiepreneurs — new and seasoned.
Too high and items sit forever and customers are afraid to come back to your site or booth. Too low and you cut your own profit margin.
It’d be wonderful to have a secret formula that magically produced a good sales price for you. While a such a secret formula doesn’t exist — here are a few things to keep in mind when considering your prices.
Understanding Etsy
Does this sound familiar? You’ve visited Etsy.com and while you recognize some of the terms flying around, you aren’t quite sure what they are exactly.
Don’t worry, Etsy has its own language. Here is a list of the most common terms you may come across.
