With a treasure hiding in it!

LOSE THE STICKERS and watch the bids come in! (I wish I was joking...) XO, threefortytwo

So I purchased a ton of Swarovski Crystal findings from a lady who won them on auction. She got them from the estate of a deceased Jewelry artist in the Providence Rhode Island area. I had previously purchased a bunch of 8 mm white post back earrings from her and I've mostly been using them as givvies. Today I got a bigger variety of pieces (I have bags and bags of this stuff) and I have not figured out how to market them exactly and I was wondering if some of you might be able to give me some ideas or hints on how you would market them? I was telling Brad this is not my niche at all and I'm just open to some different ideas. The last piece is just an incredible Swarovski belt I was told is silver plated. I'm thinking it's probably rhodium plated but I shouldn't have any problem selling it. It's just the other stuff that I'm looking for some ideas on. Because they are designer sample sadly none of them are marked with the Swarovski swan but I was told by more than one person that whoever this artist is the only used Swarovski crystals in his pieces.

Today's tip may be a bit of tough for some... No customer cares what you paid, nor do they want to hear it. It's an instant vibe killer. Your customers want to know they are getting the lowest price possible. If you disclose you paid $50, can you truly expect it to sell for $85? If you paid $50 then that's the market price, why should they pay more? Why are you a better single item buyer than your customer? You are a bulk or wholesale buyer, and you may have a cost average assigned to each piece in a lot, but don't single out a single item and flap your arms while clucking on about how hard it was to buy or that you're in too deep on it... Your customers will exit the room, I promise you that. I will occasionally share a price paid with the room simply as an interesting talking point, but never from a mentality of "I paid $50 so I need to make $75". I still start the item at $10 and let the room dictate what it's actually worth. I understand you may not have 50 people in your room, so start it at half market price so you don't take a huge hit. You will ALWAYS sell some items at a loss. If you aren't missing on a few pieces every show, you're not growing. The following phrases I hear all the time, and I urge you to cut every one of them out of your sales flow: - I paid up for this - I paid X dollars for this - I need to get AT LEAST X dollars for this - This was expensive - I paid too much for this - I got carried away on this one - I don't have much room on this Set an asking price, start the auction, tell everyone why they should buy it, hit the gas and if you don't have a different item in your hands in 22 seconds, you're in the wrong industry.

Hey gang. Am I the only person confused about the new upcoming shipping policy on WhatNot? If you have already changed your shipping to reflect it can you show me what mine should look like? I feel like it took me forever to make sense of my shipping the first time around.
