<p>[QUOTE="Tauriel, post: 28283, member: 77"]Nice ornaments Book, Best prices for ornaments is definitely here on ebay. The window spoken of is correct, I made the mistake of not getting Christmas Auctions set up in turbo, so I am having to scramble to post auctions <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /> but some of the highest prices realized are sold Sept-Oct.! Right now there is a lot of competition to sell and so not the best prices realized Next year I will start my Christmas auctions first of October... Last year was my first year selling Christmas stuff but I did really well, this year not as good.... but it's not over yet <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> crazy what people collect and buy for Christmas!! and WHENEVER you come across them BUY THEM!! even if it is after Christmas!</p><p>OK I know this may create a small firestorm but... here goes, The ornaments you are showing Book are "Vintage" BUT.. after listing mine as vintage and not selling anything I did my research and found people are searching for and buying "Vintage Antique" Ornaments, WHAT???? (2,500 listings up right now with just about the same amount sold) but when I re-listed mine as such, wham, sales and views went way up. Now I know that they are not real antique and so do the buyers, but you can see it is kind of a niche search that includes mostly "vintage mercury glass ornaments" but with the "Vintage Antique" keywords they are finding, buying and selling ornaments from the same era as yours. Oh also "Vtg" saves letters in your titles and it pulls up "Vintage" in a search. "Mercury" is also a keyword people search with for ornaments like yours. Bumpy, Indent, Mica, Poland, German, are also sought after ornaments and good keywords.</p><p>Brad, yes list those Radko Ornaments now!!</p><p>Also if they are small ornaments try to get "Feather" in your title or Feather Tree. And stick to SMALL lots of 2 to 6. Large lots sell but for much less than if sold separately or in small similar lots.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
