I noticed that you collect vintage jewelry.
I have a lot from my great aunt, aunts, and mom that I want to sell. I don’t want to do a garage sale b/c of potential theft as I would have to have it outside (I don’t want anyone in my home or our family home). Selling each piece on craigslist would be very time consuming. I found an antique store not far away that wants to look at it, but I suspect they won’t pay much for each piece as they are going to want to make money.
Most of the pieces are from the 60-90s, but there are some that are from the 30-40s or possibly older.
Do you have any suggestions to how/where to sell?
Butting in here:
My daughter also collects and sells vintage jewelry. She sells the nicer pieces on Etsy, and the lesser, or newer ones on eBay.
I personally like Etsy much better, but I only sell sewing patterns. I find Etsy much easier to list on, and my customers there have all been so nice.
I could give you a longer explanation later if you like (send me a Freepmail if you’re interested), but briefly if you don’t sell to a dealer in bulk your options are either on-line (Ebay, Etsy, Ruby Lane, etc.) or participating in local vendor shows. You could also maintain your own booth in an antique shop. Keep in mind that all of those options involve selling costs, time, labor, etc.
Take it to an auction house in your area.
eBay if you know what its worth and think it will sell and sell for more.
So glad you asked that question, I have the same situation.
