Ideas for selling unwanted card craft stash?

*twinkle*_2

I sold mine at a local adult education class, I had contacted the tutor to check it was ok and what time I could go, she told them the week before so people took money, everyone was really excited. I kept prices cheap and they bought loads, including a stack of magazines.

Table top sales or craft fayres might be worth look too. I know you don't drive and I'm the same, but they have sales regularly in our local community centre so it may be worth keeping an eye for local events.

Good luck x

Have you thought of selling at a car boot sale? (only just read this thread from over a month ago, so you may have already sold it all.)

I love searching boot sales for craft stuff. Last Sunday a lovely lady was selling a huge amount, and she said she was very surprised at how well it was selling.

It was her late Mothers. She was selling at very reasonable prices, but thought her Mum would have been pleased that the people who where buying would enjoy it. There were a few men buying paper, punches, inks and stamps for when their grandchildren stay at weekends.

We usually go to the boot sale very early, but couldn't last week as son needed a lift to work. The lady had already sold most of the craft dies, I believe to a man. I bet the man's wife got a lovely surprise when he returned home with the dies, or maybe he was a crafter himself.

( Edited to say, I've just re read your first post where you said you can't drive so can't do a car boot sale!!! Sorry.)

Not all of us men have wives. An increasing number of us have husbands to go home to so maybe it could be better to use the term partner which then covers any eventuality, not that it offended me at all but it does piddle me off a little how people just make assumptions about peoples lives without knowing anything about them, the same that you assumed that this lady could.drive without actually reading her post properley.
So sorry about the rant and no offence was intended.

fentonian, not offended in the least. Welcome to this website. I'm looking forward to reading all your future posts!

Ps. You didn't read your dictionary "properley" or you would know that the correct spelling is "properly." Also "posibilites" is spelt "possibilities."

I'm not really meaning to pull you up about your spellings. I'm just trying to point out that we can all make mistakes.



(and maybe the original poster now has a partner who can drive them to car boot sales!!!)

There are lots of good craft selling groups on FB x

How ridiculous to join a forum just to have a moan on a thread that is 18 months old, without offering any constructive advice to the OP. I do despair. No offence intended by the way.
