How's Ebay working for you?

owlhause · 03-06-2004, 05:04 AM

Ebay does pretty well for me....I've done it consistantly for a few years and have a lot of repeat customers.

For me it works best to auction small carvings that I can do quickly and start in the 35$ to 40$ range.
Along with some art fairs and a few wholesale accounts I keep busy year round!

I think I'll try Ebay, sounds like a good idea. I have never bought anything or sold anything there, but its worth it to help with my carving habit.

I did manage to get an Irish Santa done after all!
If anyone is so inclined.....he's under 'new stuff' on my picture trail site.

Let me know how you like Ebay Mel...I've found its kind of a 'love it' or 'hate it' deal for a lot of people.

I know of at least one well known carver who sells regularly on it....Al Streetman....he's written alot of Santa carving books. His ID is 'woodbuster' if you want to check him out.

Well, its only 1am...I can get one more Santa carved

The Irish Santa looks good. I'm planning on putting a Santa on Ebay, I might ask everyone for some tips if I have problems
