Well, we have a few coffee cup waiting patiently to be listed. Autumn likes to buy coffee cups for us to resell. I however, am not that enthusiastic about them. For a few reasons:
- Not a real big money maker.
- Shipping is a pain.
- A heck of a lot of photographing.
But lately, I have decided to really start listing all those things that don't really appeal to me. I find it hard to get motivated about these items, but the fact that they could and do appeal to others is what I need to realize. That being said, I still face the issues listed above.
I have 2 pricing structures to consider: $9.99 + shipping, or $14.99 or so with free shipping (Fast and Free!). Possibly more for the Far Side mug.
As far as shipping, I am entertaining the
FOMO method as shown here by Jason Smith of
Thrifting With The Boys. So this morning I wrapped up a sacrificial
lamb mug the same way as in the video for a little stress testing. With my 9 year old helper, Johnny, we threw it around the house, and bounced it down the stairs for 10 minutes or so. It seemed to be fine. Then I took it outside and launched it about 10 feet in the air onto our sidewalk. Game over. BUT, provided that the post office doesn't do that, I am willing to try it. I did order some 7x7x6 boxes from the PO just to be safe.
Photographing is well...photographing. Can't sell without pictures. Ugh!
