    Hey guys,
    I’m not sure what all y’all want to know about me. I’m a mental health therapist in Amarillo, TX. I’ve lived in the Panhandle most of my life.
    I recently bought a home and wanted colored glass for decoration. What I ended up with is a lot of Faberge crystal wine, shot, and flute glasses.
    This is way to fancy for me to be leaving around a lively house.
    I want to sell it but am not sure what to price it at and where to sell it... I’m thinking eBay.
    I am having trouble loading pictures.
    Anyway, I’m happy to be a part of this community. Any help is welcomed.

    Greetings, Levi! I assume that's your collection (or at least part of it) in your avatar. Pretty colors.

    I think you’re right. Is eBay a good place to sell those crystal glasses? Is there a better place?

    The USPS plus crystal is a bad combination. If you do sell on line, learn how to pack glass so the mail-handling elephants, hippos, crocodiles, gorillas, and whatever else they're using can't smash them. Sometimes I'm told they hired ex soccer (football to non-Americans) players to boot boxes around.

    Good luck with selling. Hopefully you get some buyers close by so you don't have to worry about packing and shipping :happy:

    I hope so too. I don’t know anything about crystal and need to price them right.

    Have a look online for similar ones sold. That will give you an idea of price. I have inherited a lot of stuff from my Grandparents and do my research before I list. I also ask a lot of questions on this forum :happy:

    Levi, don't be afraid to ship glass and china but do keep in mind that it is just a box to the postal service. Until recently I sold mostly glass, some expensive, and in all those sales only had 1 item broken (the postal truck ran over the box). Have a big enough box (2" extra on each side), tissue paper, lots of bubble wrap - big and small bubbles, lots of peanuts and packing paper. Most of these items are free if you are a good scrounger or ask family/friends to save them. If you want tips on packing, just ask here. Lots of people ship glass and china.

    Buy them! I give you a great deal! Of course to get that deal I have to go skimpy on the packaging.. if you don’t mind me shipping it all to you in a big envelope.
