<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AntiqueAnnie, post: 479843, member: 5464&quot;]I can see starting auctions at $20 or above to be a good start, but yeah getting that first bid would be tricky. Imagine standing out from million of others. One thing that helps, if one has the extra time is opening an account on another platform (like Instagram) to promote your items. It&#039;s easy and direct, you post photos with tags and people find you. I once opened a small instant download print store on Etsy, just for fun.. and I honestly feel if it weren&#039;t for that Instagram account I wouldn&#039;t have gotten as many followers to the store. So, I can imagine how helpful it would be for selling other things. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was following this one guy who has an Ebay along with other venues, he buys all his store from thrift stores..looks for brand vintage clothing, seems to be doing really well too. Buys a sweater for $5, sells it for $80. I think that&#039;s great, and can see how it would be a very profitable business. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can deal with some loss, but in today&#039;s market and the protection customers have online directly from Ebay/Amazon etc.. I just don&#039;t know how I feel about people constantly complaining about &quot;wrong size,color,smell.. wearing it then wanting to return&quot; it would be easier in person than online. I suppose you can always list no returns, but that would just push people away especially in such category.&nbsp; Now, with other items such as home decor,art, and just about anything else that&#039;s straight forward the chances may be less likely, and even then you&#039;d have situations where items are fragile. I guess, that&#039;s just one of the few risks with online selling though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
