Welcome to TreasureCoop & my blog. I've been selling on eBay for several years & also have a store, TreasureCoop, I also started expanding my horizons & began selling on other sites. Weather permitting, Spring & Fall, we also enjoy selling at flea markets.
Comparing online selling to selling at flea markets, both have it's pluses & minuses. The minuses of online selling being: Not getting paid at all by Buyers, which creates more work, more aggro trying to collect and/or getting fees back. Then there's the feedback issues. Buyers who leave no FB at all, undeserved Negative/Neutral FB & of course, those ridiculous DSR's (when one sells on eBay) also affect your status. At flea markets, one gets paid on the spot, no FB & no DSR's to be concerned about. Selling online, you choose whether or not to list items on any given day, you don't have to be concerned about weather & you don't have to have someone to watch over your table/space/booth while you go to the bathroom or get something to eat! With flea markets, your merchandise must be under watchful eyes at all times. And if the weather is bad the day of the flea, if it's outdoors, you keep your fingers crossed for good weather on the rain date. And if the weather turns ugly during the flea, be prepared to cover up, pack up & leave if the weather isn't about to change. Whether one sells online or at flea markets, one thing is for sure - you get to communicate with all kinds of people. Some nice, some nuisances & some just downright entertaining!
Anyway, with the holidays upon us, it's time to look for the right gift for everyone. And at TreasureCoop, my prices are reasonable, I ship fast, don't gouge on shipping & handling & I carry an eclectic variety of items for the entire family! My FB is 100% Positive & I work very hard to keep it that way. New items listed frequently & Free Gifts with every purchase, no matter how big or small!
