<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 185156, member: 36"]People keep telling me I have a good "eye", and it seems to be true. However, quality and saleability are two different things. I sell a lot of costume jewelry, and having a name makes it easier for people on line to find the pieces. Other names are actually a detriment; they see a nice piece with an undesirable name and keep looking. No name may be a wonderful item, but a hard sell if it sells at all. (My sister's Christmas box is often a collection of those bits; she doesn't mind!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Things in person are a whole different ball game. I put some unmarked costume pieces in a local consignment store and at least one sold immediately. It's a lot easier to sell vintage clothing that way too. People can touch it, feel it, try it on, and the level of returns is much lower since in a consignment it's "all sales final".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
