Are you planning on selling jewelry pieces in 2024?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

I’ve recently had more than a handful of people asking for information about buying, selling, or trading used and vintage jewelry pieces.<\/p>\n

If this is you, here’s a list of things I do before I put together a jewelry\/accessories drop.\u00a0 <\/span>However, this to-do list applies to selling virtually anything from a pair of shoes to a wood-burning stove.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Tips for Selling Used Jewelry<\/h3>\n

Listing Research<\/strong> – Take some time to have a hunt around the web and find out what’s for sale today.\u00a0 As you read listings, make<\/span>\u00a0a note of word choice, photo quantity, and quality.\u00a0 <\/span>The goal is to figure out what things are priced at today, and what the current style in listings looks like.<\/p>\n

Ask Yourself “Is it worth it?”<\/strong> –\u00a0<\/span>After the research phase is “done enough,” consider the time and energy it will take to create and upload a listing.\u00a0 <\/span>If you don’t have the time, skills, or energy, you can step back from this project knowing you’ve e made an informed decision.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clean and Repair Your Pieces<\/strong> – Make time to thoroughly wipe down and polish your jewelry pieces.\u00a0 <\/span>If you have the skills and tools, make any necessary repairs to get your pieces into their best shape.<\/p>\n

\"Jewelry<\/a><\/p>\n

Measure<\/strong> – Make your listing more complete by including the key measurements for the pieces. Listings with complete measurements are more appealing to shoppers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Photograph<\/strong> – Take many photos of each piece.\u00a0 <\/span>Try to capture every angle, at a distance and close up.\u00a0 <\/span>If you can snap photos modeled on a dress form, stand, or even better, a person.\u00a0 <\/span>Many online sellers put objects like rulers and coins to show size and provide scale. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Create your Listing<\/strong> – This is my personal choice, but I build my listings in a text document on my computer first.\u00a0 <\/span>Then if I’m going to put my listings in a couple of places I can copy, paste, and repeat.\u00a0 <\/span>Think Marketplace, eBay, Etsy, and right on your feed. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Before Posting<\/strong> – Review and double-check the details. Listings should include specific information about payment methods and shipping costs.\u00a0 Include packaging details and timelines from order to shipment.<\/p>\n
