Thanks for the responses. She was fine with me cancelling it. She resubmitted her offer, which I accepted, and then she paid right away! 🙂
So glad you posted this. I get very frustrated because I try to listen to the podcast while listing and I retain nothing that’s said on the podcast. I have a 45 minute comment to work so that’s when I listen. 🙂
Thoughts on this one? The person said it was 50 years old and asking $200 for it. They’re sending me a photo of the back side tomorrow morning. Being new, all of the patterns look really beautiful to me. 🙂 It does look a little more worn to me. This one is 9′ x 12′.
It is 8′ x 12′. I haven’t seen it yet so not sure if it feels like wool. I wasn’t thinking about how old it might be but probably need to consider that too. Here’s the only other photo from the listing on FB.
They are asking $99 for it. I was buying it to resell. I thought maybe it was hand knotted because I thought I saw weft threads (?) on the back horizontal to the fringe and the fringe didn’t look sewn on. I also thought the back being colorful was a good sign. I’m kind of fascinated by handmade, hand knotted rugs right now and have been watching Facebook Marketplace for them. Doing lots of research but I’ll be happy when I actually find some authentic rugs so I know what I’m looking for.
Thank you, Retro Treasures WV! How does one mark the box? I can’t remember if there is a question of some kind regarding contents when you pay for the shipping label. Or do you just write something on the box with marker?
I think I’ll continue selling individually but make sure my prices are competitive. Thanks!
Amatino – I’m not even sure what a tame electrician is lol.
Old Dad – I hope it’s not defective 😐 I did list it but put AS IS and untested.
Well, no numbers to report for this week as far as sales. Just put up my first listings today! It took me quite a while but I expect to get faster with time. I did go to some sales this week (yep, I’m a hoarder) and approached some ladies who were running their grandma’s estate sale that was chock full of fabric. I asked if they would consider selling what was left at the end to me for a discount, which they did! Bins, rolls and bolts of fabric for $200. I’m excited to get working on that. Hope you all have a great and profitable week!! 🙂
Jay – I weighed the three rolls. One was 25 lb, one was 63 lb and the heaviest one was 95 lbs!😮 I need to do more research to see how much it sells for per yard.
I’ll have to weigh them. One is so heavy it’s going to take 2-3 people to carry it. I’ll get them weighed in the next couple of days and get back to you.
Also I don’t have a military pension. I served in the Air Force for 5 years but did not retire. I was in just long enough to meet my husband and fall in love. ❤️ Then I spent the next 21 years being a military wife.
Hi, Jay. Yes to all except my husband now works for the state of Michigan and they don’t have a pension, just a 401K. Selling on Ebay is for the fun of it – I love the thrill of the hunt. 😊 But I do think it will help us get the house paid off sooner. I will be selling everything under the sun…clothes, artwork, books, collectibles and anything else that’s cool and interesting. Just today I bought 3 large rolls of auto upholstery fabric for $50 that came from an old Buick plant. Still figuring out the logistics on selling that but I know someone will want it.
I did this at a church sale a while back. They were almost to the end of the sale and I asked how much for all the hallmark ornaments and got a great deal. Then the ladies were practically throwing stuff at me to take for very little money just so they could be rid of them lol.
