Hey you two. Thinking about you also. I was sitting here drinking a cup of Sumatra and thinking about ordering another sample pack from you guys.
Hope all is going well with ya’ll. Susan has had 2-1/2 years of health issues as you know but also had to have 2 total knee replacements 90 days apart. Lot’s of terrible pain. As a result, I have fired up my art studio, expanded my wood working shop and have a huge laser cutter and engraver coming in next week. I am going to gravitate over to making my own products with some vintage one of a kind mixed in. By making my own products I can have multiples in stock and just replace as needed.
Fine art paintings, limited edition prints, custom clocks, lamps and artist designed and signed household-kitchen items along with custome engraving of other owners items as gifts. Will see how this goes.
Still say you guys need to rethink those first five or six words of your titles. All of the algorithms now look to those first 5 words as a way to quickly discover what your item is. Vtg. red, fuzzy, foam, used is wasting “title real estate”. Try Baseball, Sports Cap Hat Snapback. Algorithyms then knows what it is you are trying to sell. Also both Ebay and Etsy have now altered their bots to start crawling the discription areas and want to see keywords and tags being used in the description areas. Etsy may even be doing away with tags altogether.
But that would be a long thread for Jay and us to battle out like the old ScavengerLife days. :-). In any case miss the old tit for tat messages we used to create in a more active SL arena.
Ryanne, you have my email addy, if you need pricing on anything don’t hesitate to send me a request. I am in fron of the computer almost 24/7 these days. We still have two helpers but only for a few hours each week to do the speed typing for us.
Keep mentioning to Susan that when she can walk better we should come up and visit, see you guys and also maybe bring my daughter to tour the caverns. Susan can’t do it because of having to use a walker. Same reason she can’t hit up garage or estate sales any longer.
Good to char again.. check you later. Will be ordering some coffee this week.

Glad you guys are still at it. Always good to adapt as life throws challenges at you. Your advice on titles seems prudent. So difficult to break old habits.
Look forward to hearing about your laser cutter.

On the title subject, Etsy has even stopped showing the word vintage in it’s search. If you go to Etsy and type in vintage glassware, the word vintage just disappears and glassware is used. Try it with several tile searches using vintage anything.
Here is a quick guide to what the bots seem to be looking for in those first 5 or six words. Brand, what is is [object], Material, size/dimension, feature #1, feature #2, from there on run out all of the 82 characters with most relevant Item Specific [keywords]. Color way toward the end. Most photos show color now and also Ebay new item specifics even pushes the use of multi-color. No punctuation of any kind or #, @, [], * etc., etc. and no “and, buts, or, with, from, by, etc.
Value those 82 characters as “prime realestate”. Remember vintage is anything over 20 years old, but that changes every year, so as of today anything before 2002 is “vintage”. Feeling old yet? LOL :-). Long tail run on phrases are becoming “old school”. Yep it’s a new world and things are a’changin!
Yep.. will keep you informed on laser update. Ordered last Oct. and just now getting crated to ship to me from Melbourne, FL.

So how does someone know if an item is vintage or not?
Brand, what is is [object], Material, size/dimension, feature #1, feature #2, from there on run out all of the 82 characters with most relevant Item Specific [keywords].
Understood, but then the title becomes non-human readable. Just a list f keywords. Can you give an example of whet you think a perfect title would look like?
