Vintage Items - Inventory, price checks - where to start?

eBay give you a huge audience. Between Paypal and listing fees, they will take 10–20% off the top, but it’s worth it for me.

Also, if you log into eBay you get the option of searching ‘Completed Listings’ so you can see actual selling prices. When you do that, be aware that they include items which didn’‘t actually sell. Only the ones which say ‘Sold’ are helpful in setting real-world prices.

Thanks for the tip!
I’ve never used ebay before, but i’ve sold through a few other sites.

Some of my items i heard are handmades, how would i calculate costs with those, since i can’t compare it to any others (there are no others)…?

Etsy might be good for handmade items, but I have never used it. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will chime in. Or you could start a new question specifically about Etsy.

Follow eBay for a while to see what similar items go for. Check other antiques and collectibles sites such as Ruby Lane, which has many vendors.

@jaytkay, I actually have my own Etsy shop and plan to sell a few of the qualifying vintage&antique items there :)
