Vintage Jewelry On Ebay
Q: Looking for some advice here. I buy a lot of decent quality clothes from
places like Lands' End, Old Navy and Lane Bryant. I take *extremely* good
care of these clothes--I have a Maytag Neptune Washer and Dryer and use of
high quality detergents that are very gentle on fabrics. So the items are
sure to be high quality.
Being a plus sized girl who has few quality fashion clothing stores from
which to choose, if I see something I like I'll buy 2 or 3 of them at once.
So...you get the picture: I always have a stockpile of clothes on the attic
awaiting Purple Heart, Goodwill or Bottomless Closet.
Even though I like the fact that other women who need these clothes are
getting them via places like Bottomless Closet, I'm wondering about trying
to sell them on ebay instead. My questions are as follows:
I'm a mom of three who works full time. Is the Return on Investment worth
it for my lifestyle? I've said before that time is the most precious form
of money for me. (But I'm willing to re-think that motto in today's day,
where everything seems to cost more.)
How receptive are ebay buyers to things like lots of different pairs of
black, brown and tan pants? I'm not talking glitzy, glamorous stuff most of
the time--I'm talking wardrobe basics.
I am not looking at making a killing on these sales--rather, I just want to
get a little back on my clothing investments so that I can--you guessed
it--buy more!!!
I have bought lots of vintage jewelry from ebay with great success. Any
experienced ebay sellers out there? Also, if you know of any ebay related
forums where I could post my (very beginner) inquiries, I'd appreciate the
information.
A:Ebay buyers are very unpredictable. Clothes that are not NWT (new with
tags) often do not sell. There are exceptions for major designer names as
well as fabulous vintage stuff. People will pay huge prices for Coach
leather, even if it's used, but won't even bid on something that's made
better but lacks the Coach name.
