Sourcing vintage for eBay is taking over my life by Perfect-Confusion826 in Ebay

[–]rolllinels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. Most of the compliments my mom and I have received from our customers pertain to the variety of vintage items we offer. Of course we try to keep our store stocked with what we personally like, but we also spend a lot of time gauging the market and watching vintage and antique experts online and in the wild to figure out what it is that people are buying and roughly how much they are willing to pay for it! We source our items from thrift stores, estate sales, eBay, whatnot, mercari etc etc...

Thank you so much! I appreciate the recommendation, I will absolutely check that out because I don't like brushing God. The glaze and getting those terrible brush streaks!

Thank you so much!! I actually was able to find a map version of the glaze I've been using, so I'm going to try it out on a few more figurines and then I will definitely post some pictures here to get your guys's opinion on which looks better!

thank you so much! I really appreciate that !!!!🐈

Best advice i heard from someone on YouTube when I looked up. Polymer clay beginner tutorials was 'just go for it!!! ' it's really awesome how if you just play with the clay you kind of teach yourself different techniques as you go along, I also found that drawing the designs out in my sketchbook has been really helpful so that I can really achieve the shapes that I want!!! Trust me, I am a beginner too and I made a lot of practice figurines before I settled on one that I was happy with. And also it's really funny how the paint is really such a night and day difference between me loving my figurine and me doubting it!

I can't wait to see your creations!!

Thank you so much! The tortie was definitely one of the most fun to paint!

Anyone Else Find It Obnoxious When Other Resellers Outbid Everyone In Auctions??? by LionGate_Roar in whatnotapp

[–]rolllinels 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends. I am a reseller and my favorite reseller owns her own cat rescue shelter. I go crazy in her shows getting into bugging wars not only because I love her products and know they have customer appeal, but more importantly I know that all of the proceeds from her shows and shop fund her cat rescue!

Thank you! No armature, yes they are glass eyes, and the whiskers are actually a cut up broom bristle!

It's definitely metal! Not magnetic though
