I was planning to start a T-shirt business, so I bought a whole lot of heat press transfers (pre-designed). My plan has changed, and I don't know what to do with them. I'm planning to sell them at a very low price to get some of my money back. Where should I sell these transfers? They are brand new.
Thanks.
Are they customizable at all, or are they set designs? I know some people that may be interested if it is at all customizable. Please describe them further or post a photo/link.
The obvious choices are craigslist.org, ebay.com, and there are now facebook groups where you can buy, sell, trade.
Sell them on eBay as a lot. Start with a low price to get people interested. I'll bet someone buys.
ebay or itsy
I believe listing on eBay would bring you more money but it may not be an "overnight" sale.
Here are some examples of how sellers are listing large quantities.

You can check out different sales on eBay at this site but the true picture is what actually sold on eBay (recently) (second site link).

eBay would be your best bet since you will have a greater audience. Craigslist or Facebook locally.
Do you still have these transfers? How many do you have? Can you list them for me and your asking price? Pics would be great.
Thanks
I am be interested in your transfers. Please let me know if you still have these, your asking price, and what you actual have.Pictures would help. Please let me know. Thank you.

My wife, who passed away five years ago, spent many years in a craft business that involved painting and selling pecan shell resin figurines. She made many acquisitions of unpainted figurines from individuals and from the companies that were going out of business. The inventory numbers in the hundreds. I am looking for an outlet for these items, as I am relocating and have no room nor desire to keep them. How can I get rid of this inventory?

Give them to a church
I would try ebay that would in my opinion be your best bet. Sell them in lots of like five to ten the unpainted ones that is.
Before trying to sell them on Ebay, I'd do some internet searching for people who are in the same business your late wife was. It seems to me they'd be the prime market for the inventory.
Donate them to a senior citizen center, or a nursing home. This would be great "fellowship" items. Good luck.
Try posting the items on Craigslist, first. Be as detailed as you can and take pictures of the items, if you can. Craigslist.com doesn't cost anything and there is a local Craigslist for the Tampa Bay area.
If you don't have to sell right away, go to your public library's reference section and see what magazines deal with the type of novelties/collectibles she made or, if you have sales receipts from people she sold to in quantity you could contact them. My thought with the mags. is that you could run a classified. Another poster referenced Craigslist. A good site but be careful about personal information, few people are not what they seem, but you don't want to be caught by one who doesn't want to treat you right. Best of luck!
Another good, free selling site is Kijiji (pronounced Key-gee-gee." Haven't managed to sell anything there, but hubby found an excellent dog there a couple of years ago. As I recall, they also have a craft/collectible section. go to www.kijiji.com and see what you think.
Hi Keith I'm in Colorado would purchase your items for senior crafts program i please contact me. Sophia at 303-476-3629
I am currently clearing my mother's property. Due to dementia she has accumulated a great deal of craft magazines, most are un-opened in the cellophane wrapping with kits, etc.
included. I am looking to sell them to raise funds for her continued care. Any suggestions would be appreciated.I would sell them as a lot on eBay or Craigslist. There are people who would be interested in them.
eBay and Craigslist are good places to sell but these can also be sold on Etsy, Bonanza, and even Amazon. If you take photos and a description you can list on several sites (just remember to remove any sold listings from other sites).
Here are some listings from eBay where you can get some ideas on how others are selling their older magazines:
www.ebay.com/

www.ebay.com/
Your magazines may not sell overnight at any of these sites but most of the time it is free to list but there will be a charge if they sell. Be careful with shipping costs and remember - magazines cannot be sent USPS Media mail because they have advertisements.
I believe you should try Craigslist first as this is easier and may work well for you (no shipping) but please read all the precautions noted about using Craigslist.
It is good that you are caring for your mother but I also know there may be some trying times - keep heart and know that blessings are on their way.
Besides eBay, Craigslist - you can see if any of your friends or family like on Facebook would like to purchase. They may have interest too.
Craigslist is an excellent place but meet them somewhere. Never let anyone meet you at home.
That said, either set up a facebook page where you can cycle in the photos as they come available and delete them quickly when they sell. Letting your friends and family know what you are doing really helps to spread the word. You are very lucky you have the daunting and blessed task of dealing with her things. My mom died and her sister didn't tell me till I got the death notice from the county. Needless to say I didn't get anything of hers. She didn't have much but what she did have I would cherish to this day. I wish you luck.
I myself purchase EVERYTHING on either ebay or amazon as do most people that I know. Etsy is another good one, or just a plain old honest to goodness garage sale, lol.
Have you looked into selling on KraftJoy.com? It is a new site that is just for selling used craft supplies. I've listed a few things and already made a sale.
I have tons of craft materials (new) like ribbons, mini figures, small wood pieces, etc. and craft magazines that I would like to sell. Does anyone know how to go about selling these things? Thank you!
Find someone who has a digital camera and who knows how to sell on EBay. Ask them to photo, list and sell your items. Make their fee contingent on the items selling. Some groups of items sell really well.
Hi Casey,
I am in Plano, Texas too! What a small world. But one way to sell your craft items is on www.craigslist.com
That's a source for all kinds of things from jobs to, real estate to jogging partners.
Good luck,
Yvette
I'm going to clear bag all of mine, set them out two days early on the curb and allow someone to have them for free. "Freely you have been given, so freely give." "It's better to give than to receive."
You will most definitely get a blessing for doing this, especially now that so many are confined to their homes with elders and/or children during the Winter.
Thanks for your ideas! Grammy Sheila, what is an MSN group and how do I contact them? I would love to sell my things to people who can really use them (many items are hard to find!). Thank you, thank you!
I sell my craft supplies on Etsy.com and have done very well.
I have a huge amount of crafts supplies for all holidays and occasions. I am moving out of state, and can not pack all of it. Any idea how to sell it/post it for sale?
Depending on what you have and how much time you have, you can take USPS one price boxes, fill them with items by season and list them on eBay or Etsy. Craft items sell very well in large lots--especially if things are grouped...like all Christmas together or all red items or all yarns or all scrapbook items.
There are lots of ways to "lot up" items. Check eBay SOLD section for "large craft lots" to see which ways fetch the most today. This changes seasonally.
Or if you have very little time, you can post it on Facebook Marketplace or Next Door or one of the local apps/sites and sell it all as one giant lot.
You will get more on eBay, but you can probably get it moved out faster in a local site.
Post back with an update. Blessings on your move!
You could try selling on Mercari :) They do take 10% commission, but there is a lot of users on there! Plus no hassle in meeting up anyone.
You can also try Offer Up, Craigslist, Next Door. All local ways of selling. If you do sell locally, be sure to meet up somewhere with a lot of traffic/people. Or, if you can bring someone with you!
I would use the Facebook Marketplace. No fees and no shipping.
My mother recently passed away and she was a crafter. Does anyone know where I can sell her unused fabric? She has so much of it and I would love for someone to buy it.

If you have either inherited doll making supplies, including molds, or are no longer interested in this craft yourself it is time to find a buyer. Etsy or eBay may be good places to try to sell the supplies. Some research prior to selling them can help determine a fair asking price.
