For those who are overrun with pine cones in the yard, especially the big, pretty ones, Bag 'em up! They can become natural decor for Christmas. Some places don't have pine trees, so you may actually be able to sell them online, at a flea market or a fair. I was traveling one year and was shocked to see a small bag of pine cones in a store on sale for $5! I had a yard full of them back home!
Here are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community.
How do I find out if there is any interest to buy the pine cones from my pine trees?
Take pictures. Post them online (kijiji or Craig's list, for example) with your asking price and contact information. Responses will tell you if people are interested. Or not.

I have pine cones. Plenty. Ranging from 4 to 6 tall - roughly 3+ wide. I collect good looking ones and burn the rest. Let me know if youre interested.
Yes pinecones are popular items. They are used to make Christmas decorations for Christmas trees, gift wrapping, and candle yule logs, wreaths and other wall decorations or anything else you can imagine Sometimes they are spray painted like gold, silver white or other colors needed You can probably fine pinecone craft projects in books at your library, book store, or online. Here in Washington we have cones from the big ones to the tiny hemlock or cedar

Do you have knobcone pine cones?
Still need pine cones? If so, how many? I have ponderous pine cones
I have pine cones ranging in 6 inches tall to 12 inches. Wide and spread out.
I have 900 pinecones varying in size, that are cleaned, debugged, and baked. I have contacted some local florists and sold some, sold some on Etsy, and Facebook Marketplace. I have heard nothing yet from Craigs List. I am just wondering if anyone knows where I could sell them.
Thanks and I look forward to some responses of ideas of where else I could sell them.
Ebay is always a good place to sell. Fill the one price box so you can have consistent shipping costs.
It sounds like you have found good sources with florists.
How about making some into fire starters and selling baskets of them to a fireplace store. I used to make and sell these in the 1980s.
This is close to my original directions:

I used to use broken candles I would buy for cheap from Goodwill and broken crayons from a neighbor who had young kids.
They looked sweet in a basket!
Holiday blessings to you and yours!
eBay will give you the largest audience. You might want to try selling at a Christmas craft fair.
We have pine cones the size of footballs and would like to sell them.
Put ads in local papers like the Pennysaver or online.
Go to fall festivals and try to sell there.
eBay is one of the best places to sell them! Look at sold prices to get an idea of mark value. Etsy would be second best, but their new rules and such have become very muddled. If you can get through their rules, they would be counted as art/craft supplies.
Post back what you decide!

Where can I sell pine cones in west Des Moines, LA?

Hello. I love pine cones and I love to make them look pretty when I find them up in the foothills of California. If I were you I would bring them to craft fairs and sell them individually (if you have some very beautiful ones) and in bulk in small and large bags.
You must realize that even selling pine cones can go for more money when presented with some kind of polish. The prettier you make the presentation... the more money you should make. You could also sprinkle them with Dollar Tree ...yes... I said Dollar Tree Cinnamon around the holidays and sell them for outdoor fireplaces fire starters. Just remember to use your imagination and the sky is the limit (or lack there of!) Have fun too!

I live in Washington state and want to sell my pinecones. Who should I contact? Who would buy them?

One suggestion would be to Google different craft ideas using pine cones. Then use some of your pine cones to make up samples of these ideas. Make sure you use simple, easy to do ideas. Then set the crafted pine cones around the area where you will be selling the pine cones. Once people see that they can actually use them for decorating they will be more apt to buy them.
I am looking for advice on how to sell my pine cones. I have all sizes. They are great for crafts.
By ANANDA from FL
I have found they sell well at yard sales and farmers' market. Put them in CHEAP, clear plastic storage bags. Sell them by the bag with a discount for quantity. Also local florists might be interested.
