Cups & Saucers - sell indivudually or as a set?
RainbowDrops
Posts: 4,674 Forumite
I'm having a clearout, and have a set of 6 Denby cups & saucers that I want to sell.
I just can't decide whether to sell them together, which will shift them in one go, but will be harder to post. I'd probably opt for home collection this way, which will probably limit the sale price.
The alternative will be to sell one by one, which will be easier to post, however, I'm not sure if I'm allowed duplicate listings as a private seller. (They're used if that makes any difference).
Any tips / advice?

Why not offer as two separate sales 'Buy Now' and offer a discount if both items bought?Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it.0

Yeah, it's a bit mixed to be honest.
Signgle cups & saycers for around £8 total aren't selling, pairs are sometimes selling for £12 total.
Some collections of 6 are selling for £30, others for £10.0 -

How would you sepparate them - 6 cups & 6 saucers?
Or in smaller batches of the cups & saucers.
Also, back to my last question in the original post - am I alowed to have duplicate listings, or is that only allwed for business sellers?0 -

No one, not even business sellers are supposed to have multiple identical listings. 6 cups and saucers aren't massively difficult to send, I got a set of 6 with tea plates to Australia recently. Personally I would sell as a set but spend a lot of time wrapping securely, each piece individually wrapped, then wrapped again in a box, then that box inside another.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Thanks for clarifying, I guess that solves the issue then!
Will look into courrier costs, and maybe stick 'em on gumtree too for local collection.0
