Thank YOU to everyone that attended my Craft Garage Sale!!
I sold a lot …but I still have a lot! I knew I wouldn’t sell 13 years of retired product in one weekend.
And … As much as I hate to say it …. I am behind on EVERYTHING 🙁
I promise I will do my best to at least get caught up on email by tomorrow. It may take me another week to get everything else caught up (laundry and house included).
I had a ton of people ask me if I could do a Virtual Garage Sale … and I’m still scratching my head on that one … sounds like fun ….but … how would I run it? If you have an idea … feel free to share by leaving a comment or email me.

Hi Angie,
maybe you could make a grocery brown bag surprise. Fill it with three stampset and some paper and ribbon and set a price and sell it as is. I enjoyed my road trip and stopping in to get awesome stamps.Meeting you and Laura was such a pleasure. You two talked to me and that meant alot to me.Have a good day..
Hi Angie,
I agree with Lesa. I know other companies have done the same with scrapbook items. You would need to include shipping in the price. The only other way would be if you have an inventory of everything you want to sell and advertise it on your website.
Hi Angie,
One suggestion I have seen is from Linda. Every Saturday, she posts on her website, a number of items for sale. It is truly first come first serve. You have to purchase immediately through PayPal. (PayPal can also use Visa/MC). She has all photopolymer sets for one price, all wood mount for one price. All prices includes shipping. I am sure it is a lot of work, but thought I’d give you what I have seen. (and purchased from). Also on Facebook there are a lot of SU sites to sell retired items too. When I first began SU using retired products helped me so much. Another purchase I have made was a bundle of one color. Say, Riding Hood Red, in the package would be all the cardstock, ink pad, re-inker, ribbon and whatever that demo had of that color, and it would be marked for a certain price.
Hope this helped. Good luck.
🙂
Some that I have purchased they used priority mail boxes and filled with different items and set a price. I love getting those because you never really know what you’re gonna get. You just know that it’s gonna be a wonderful surprise. I hope you figure out a way to do it as I would love a chance to purchase some discounted supplies.
I like the idea of a brown bag. However, i think it would be best to at least tell the name of the stamp set so we can chose the set as we don’t want duplicates either. . . Sounds like fun!
Other SU demonstrators have listed the stamp sets by their name and number and a price. Then add the shipping to their order (I sold some stamps and stamping supplies on “Craig’s List’ and I posted pictures, but you probably have too many to used photos; I got emails and phone calls from out of state buyers). You can use the priority boxes from the post office (around $12 is a good size box that will hold many stamp sets and accessories. Wait until you receive the check and then mail the box. You could also post on “E bay”.
Hi Angie, I am drooling over all that beautiful 12×12 paper, i can see in the picture. Wish i lived near you, but sadly, i am in AZ. I remember going to Bazzill in Tempe years ago and buying paper by the box… ? If you figure out a way to ship that paper (old stampin up boxes?) i would love to buy a box. Maybe group by color family. best of luck on all catching up. you can do it!! : )
I’m looking for the stamp sets “Out on a Limb”, “Loads of Love” and “Loads of Love Accessories”. If you have them I would LOVE to purchase them.
Everything that I’ve seen has been done on a spread sheet and put on the person’s blog. Then they e-mail you if they want to purchase and it has always been first come, first serve.
PS … I also have a passion of SU Wheels … so if you have any that I don’t have, I would LOVE to purchase those also.
You can contact me at dodge3670 at aol dot com.
Thanks!
I live in New York and couldn’t attend your garage sale . . . boo hoo.
Happy March Angie 🙂 I would love to be in on how to do a virtual garage sale too!!! Do you know when you might get the Chic Stands back in stock……I would love to buy a few 🙂
I think the best and fastest way is to put everything into your shop and sell it online. You can sell stamps sepraetly , paper. and embellishments too. Then after so long after a few months or so and nothing seems to be moving anymore you can combine some things like paper and ribbon or stamps and enamel dots as a 2 fer. You have many years of saving all of these things and it may take a while to see them disapear, but I sure all of your customers will appreciate what you are selling. I know I will buy things. It may take awhile to get all the things that I want because I am on a limited income, but I assure you I will be at that shop getting things. Good Luck!
I think you could have “grab bags” priced at different price packs that would include dsp, cardstock, ribbon, and other misc embellishments. Stamps and tools/dies probably need to be listed individually FCFS.
