ha!  i read this over and can see how it seems vague.  then i disappeared for awhile.  what i mean is do you guys promote through social media, ie twitter, facebook, etc.  i guess ebay is harder to promote thru busincess cards....any other ways you promote your *listings*  ps--i am an AVID twitter user.  it's fun!!

EBay Forum / Starting prices

« on: October 15, 2011, 08:19:43 pm »

how do you set the starting price??  do you go low, or start at what the item is worth.  i set mine really low (westmoreland milk glass pedestal doric pattern) and i'm kind upset i did!  ohh...maybe there will be a bidding war.  or maybe it won't sell and i can price higher. 

what are your experiences?

MODish is another forum--dealing with midcentury modern.  they have an ID topic.  I would post it in there.  they could be worth some moola!

i can't find anything either.  i would go to MODish and check it out.  i would say dansk teak though, that's my guess.  please let me know if you want to get rid of them.  i just adore them!

o.m.g.  i LOVE those.  yes, denmark candleholers are quite hot right now.  definitely not antique, midcentury modern.  i will look for info.  ps--i will take em if you want to get rid of em.  they would go perfect in my etsy shop.  <3

i've been having luck looking up info lately!  i'm still trucking away at my etsy shop, going pretty well!  AND i'm gonna give ebay a try so i will prob. be in that forum a lot looking for hints.
this little birdie is throwing me for a loop.  no markings, but i just know he's something.  he looks like those art deco tigers that are pretty popular.  i will try to post pics tomorrow.

thanks!!
