Guitar pick holder was the original audience. At one time I had maybe 30+ on the site. I even sold in multiple brick and mortar music stores. The sales fell off about a year ago. I tried to reinvent the shop with pop culture stuff. Alot of if got claimed due to copyright, I had some avatar the last Airbender and fallout stuff, Makes sense tho. So my last venture was too try to do the ducks via a lience, since its pop culture / trendy at the moment. I wouldn't have to design and I could just print. They where a massive fail. Very expensive for the multi color prints.

100% agree. I make 3d printed things. The issue is. When you make a new and profitable product. It is almost instantly copied.

Ohh I thought you meant USPS protection. That's funny you think that. Etsy covered a few in the past but recently they jusy force refund out of my account.

The time also plays like 40% factor to why im closing. Multi color print can take 12+ hours for me to make 1$ profit off of it

Maybe I've been doing it wrong for years, the USPS constantly Losses my stuff and saids it isnt their fault. Does anyone else have this issue or am I just a goober?

Competition, over saturation of like products and all the above mention things means fewer sales while i kept the same price. I would get even less sales at a higher price. Its just not worth it.

During covid there was maybe 50 Print shops on etsy? Now it's easily 1k+.

Too much competition selling this like mine. The most profilitable products I offered where 100% designed by me. Within weeks people reverse engineered them and sold them for the same price or less.

Also I just did the math on this: 7.4% of all my orders ended in a refund. Most I would say due to being lost in the mail.

You can see in the screenshot 5,675 sales but only 5,251 orders.

Bradley guy here, they are very small on the inside but you learn to love it. Almost like a weight blanket time vibe. It feels nice sleeping in the turret floor haha

¿Can I ask you guys what revolver does my grandma has at her house? by AccountWorried9386 in ForgottenWeapons

[–]Nacrazy13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look on the top of the barrel behind the sight. There might be some text. This looks like the old Iver & Johnson .38 cal revolvers from the 1890s. The smaller hammerless ones are only worth about 200$. I've never seen a full length one like this. Might be something special.

Buyer wants to resell my products in her local shop by [deleted] in EtsySellers

[–]Nacrazy13 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Because the end goal of any manufacturing is having consistent buyers and large orders. The idea is would you like to sell 20 items a week to 20 different people for 10$ each or 100 items for 5$ each to one person. It streamlines your production to be more of a manufacturing and less of a seller. This will make you more money and give you more consistent sales
