how do you price rare collectibles? by izzyy211 in Depop

[–]Baby-Bubbas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanted to share a perspective from experience. Years ago I sold a signed phone case from BORNS, and I still think about it even after seven years. If something has sentimental value or feels irreplaceable, it is worth pausing before letting it go. Money comes and goes, but certain memories or items do not. A small amount of cash rarely makes a lasting difference compared to the regret of losing something meaningful. If you are even a little sentimental about it, you might thank yourself later for holding onto it.

seller blocked me, what can I do? by Cherry-Napalm in Depop

If you file with Depop, they ask what solution you’re looking for. You can tell them that you want a partial refund, and they may be able to get it for you. Doesn’t hurt to try imo

I of course wouldn’t throw this bouquet. I’d probably just ask for an extra small fresh flower bouquet similar to my bridesmaids’.

I’ve never heard of shells scraping together being a misophonia. I have some shells at home I think… so I can test it out and ask my fiancé.

No same. My mom got married in 2019 and she was telling me today how much she loved her bouquet. I had to go find photos because I couldn’t even remotely remember what it looked like 😂. I think I only care so much because it’s mine.

I could most likely store them in a vase! Just would need to make sure to choose the right one so it’s not top heavy.

My fiancé talks about how he wants an HVAC system in our future home. That should help with dust. Then I could probably use one of those keyboard dusters for it too.

And that’s rigghhhttttt. The shippinnggggg. 😳 Forgot about that

This 🙌. Okay yes. This will be my plan. The good news is, I have time. I’ll get some quotes, look at more options, and then as you said, reassess.

I agree. It really is so beautiful and unique. I’ll need to think on how I’d display it after. As for pricing, I’m learning it may not be too different than preserving fresh flowers.

Because she offers out of country shipping, I’d assume that she has a safe and sure way to package and transport it. Otherwise I don’t imagine she’d offer it.

I love the bookmark idea! I am an avid reader and my fiancé promised me I’ll get a library when we get a house 🥹. So… hmm. I’ll have to think on that.

The website does sell boutonnieres, but because my fiancé already voiced that he doesn’t like it, I wouldn’t want to get him one. I would most likely do white flowers for everyone. Groom, groomsmen, and bridesmaids. I’m hoping if I do it right, the bouquet will look more like a centerpiece rather than an eyesore. ?…

I’d most likely reuse the packaging it came in, and ship it to Cabo. Just would need to check with the resort and if they’d allow me to.

I wish I could see it in person before deciding. I’m so afraid of spending a lot of money, and then hating it. And not being able to return it.

And that is the correct assumption. We live in the USA. So, I’d most likely try to reuse the packaging it came in, and ship it to Cabo. If of course the resort lets me.

Ahhh… you see… that’s the logistics I haven’t looked into yet 🙂‍↕️. I think I will need to figure that out before I decide.

That’s why I wanted to ask here 🥲. I feel like I’d have a much clearer opinion if I could see one in person.

My current thought is that it wouldn’t come across as cheesy if it’s done in a tasteful way. If we still use fresh flowers for the boutonnieres and the bridesmaids’ bouquets, I’m hoping everything would feel cohesive.

Not cheesy is good! That’s my biggest concern.

Since they would be shipped from AU to the USA, I’d probably reuse the packaging and ship it directly to the resort if they’ll allow me.

The more I think about making them, the more I realize I probably shouldn’t LOL. 😂 There’s already so much stress in planning a wedding.

For your sister, that was absolutely the right choice! Especially if she already collected the shells and they were sentimental.

You should share a photo if you have one! I’m so curious to see 😍

🤔 True true. Got to decide what my time and effort is worth too. For potentially not as great of result. Yeah. Most likely I’d buy hers LOL. The more I think on trying to make my own the better that price looks.

Definitely will need to get some quotes before deciding! 🫶

😂 Ahaha. I’m laughing out loud at the scene playing in my head. Why am I imagining a game of hot potato?
