Sometimes we get cool bins of things from estate sales. Some of them look like nothing much to me and sometimes you find something amazing…It’s very hit or miss. We recently acquired a nice box of costume jewelry. I didn’t think much of this stuff when I first got my hands on it frankly but then I started to do some research. There is a HUGE market for this stuff and actually some of the pieces are quite beautiful! We even have a couple of Seterling Silver pieces that you will love. At the end of the article I am going to tell you how to get your hands on it AND save 10%….who doesn’t like coupons?
So why would people want these pieces? Maybe they wanna be a balla and a shot calla but don’t have the necessary coinage ? Maybe they like shiny stuff (again, Americans really like shiny stuff I am finding). Maybe they just like collecting or this may remind someone of the good ole’ days. Either way there is a ton of history in these pieces. I took the ones that I thought were nice or really old and instead of going auction crazy, I listed them in our new Etsy store. Our new Etsy store is great because we only have 3 price points…
5 firkin dollars, 10 firkin dollars, or 20 firkin dollars. No no there is not such a thing as an actual “firkin dollar” , we really mean US dollars people…cmon! These 3 price points are very easy for people to digest and they are all affordable. We keep the shipping very reasonable and if we have a paper product shipping is FREE. Listen, I could list a bunch of this stuff on Ebay and maybe catch $50 or $60 for a couple of these pieces but I didnt. Why you ask? Oh, I am going to tell ya…
- I want to build up our Etsy store and get some more sales.
- I want to build up our reputation for carrying fine vintage and antique goods…we don’t sell crap. We want to prove that and show some good ratings on the store.
- We are not greedy.
So there you have it, here are some of the pieces that I think are way cool…click each one to check it out on the Etsy store.
