<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DanaB, post: 1295927, member: 10739&quot;]Johnny,</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to add that Ownedbybear may have one thing right. But it&#039;s not the price. There are places to sell online and Ebay is certainly one of them. I often visit eBay UK. All it takes is turning off auto location and changing my location from the United States to the United Kingdom. Sometimes a seller is willing to ship to the US. The reason I do this is the quality of jugs in the UK is much better than most of what I find in eBay in the US. Occasionally I find some really great stuff. But its constant searching to find the nuggets here in the US. Another is a site here in the US called Etsy. It has all kinds of things and yes I find tobys there. Let&#039;s just say you were willing to ship to the US, and I would let the buyer pay shipping, and with your rare jug you would be on the higher end of most of the quality of jugs out there. The reasons, most jugs are from Japan or poor quality or mass produced. But if you are not interested in setting up with PayPal and paying online fees with them then antique stores would be a place to try. But keep in mind, they want it cheap so they can mark it up! And they will make you think it&#039;s not worth much just so they can buy low and sell high. Selling online has it&#039;s pros and cons. You get to set your own price. But you also have to remember the cost of shipping, the cost &amp; and fees of using PayPal. And you can&#039;t use eBay or Etsy without having a PayPal account. The account is free but the fees and their charges do take away from your net results. Many people will say free shipping and add that into the price of the item. But be sure you know where your willing to ship to. Otherwise, let the buyer incur the cost. But many like that &quot;free shipping&quot;. I&#039;ve taken a course on how to sell on Ebay and that&#039;s one thing they pushed, add that into your selling price and offer free shipping that way, the buyer knows exactly what their buying and they think their getting something for free. Just a little free advise. Hope this helps. You may know of popular sites in the UK if you only want to ship to the UK. But even if you use eBay UK you can limit the shipping to just the United Kingdom and that&#039;s where I&#039;d use the free shipping. Not to the US or worldwide. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you do sell online be sure to mention that it&#039;s rare. I don&#039;t if mind if you mention that you had a 40 yr toby collector see it and they had never seen one like this before. Toby steins are not commonplace and even online, I don&#039;t see them very often. It&#039;s not like I&#039;ve never seen one but they don&#039;t come around to see them frequently.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again good luck!</p><p>Dana[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
