[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 133669, member: 1136"]I've sold online through eBay and etsy and I pretty much avoid ebay now. They have high % and flooded markets. I sell at an antique mall and do pretty alright. It's not a sole income, but I make enough to grow my business, pay a couple bills, and put some savings away while being a stay at home mom. I also work at an antique auction and estate company. We get people who do shows and what they can't sell at shows they sell at auction. We get people who strictly sell at auction. I personally don't like selling at auction because I'd rather sell it myself and keep the commission. Even if it means holding a "dealer sale" type garage sale once a year and selling it at auction prices, but that's just the type of person I am. Some are just ready to let it go. I'm notoriously cheap and a stickler :shy: ...but you have to be in this business. The info about having a good eye is very true.[/QUOTE]
