    Is that an "Enid Collins" purse? If so it could be worth much more than what you are asking for it. I want you to do a little research on it before giving it up for that price.

    I put the cross and the box purse on there, but no bites so far. I just put the purse on there for $25 based on what ones in similar condition are selling for but will sell cheaper to anyone here who wants it.

    It is disheartening.

    People today purchase on impulse and usually poorly made junk.

    It is difficult to determine what would even be a good market or product to introduce to market.

    It is all about the latest fad.

    I always ask people when I shop who makes the most from the sale of a product. Most often people think it is the producer. Some will say the retailer. Both producer and retailer have big investments and expenses. The entity that reaps the most from the sale of a product is the state. They do nothing and tack on 7%.

    Sometimes a product like your dream catcher would sell in a resort environment where tourists frequent. If you have anyplace like that near you maybe you could put a couple in their establishment on consignment.

    i've actually abandoned the dreamcatcher biz. I can't sell them for enough to make it worth the time and materials. Trying to get my bookkeeping biz going plus working full time doesnt leave much time anyway.

    Bookkeeping? Look for new business licenses being filed, send them a letter. You'll have clueless clients in no time.

    Oh they are Euphemia. This place is like home. Otherwise I wouldn't feel comfortable putting this out there. People here were great when I had to do a fundraiser last year.

    Why not just link to your paypal account or some other account so member can donate to your cause. No offense but I wouldn't know the first thing to do with any of those items if you dashed it to me.

    I have a few change lying around and I wouldn't mind just plain donating without the buying part.

    Thank you and I really appreciate it but it was so hard for me to ask for help last year and I just can't do that again so I'll just keep doing my little side things. I know these things I'm selling are not really guy things...I'm trying to utilize this forum.

    I'm too much of an introvert to call. But most people want to run their business, and the bookkeeping aspect of it doesn't even enter their minds.

    I have a website and I've done some targeted FB ads. I have 2 people here in Houston who want me to help them get their receipts together for taxes...it's a start. I'm not much into hard selling. I work full time also, but would live to segue this into something more.
