Very true, I have a customer in Malaysia who messages me once a week asking if I have any cotton/poly/rayon shirts. Something I also started learning since I got on etsy.

Re: Deadstock 50'S Champion Runner logo T, w/ Laundering sticker

Nice item, I've been hunting for a little bit and have NEVER found this champion tag yet (I suck!). But good luck with this shirt and many more !

Re: Anyone sell on etsy?

/\ I 100% agree, so far I got up to 6 sales and have listed 56 items thus far. I sell high-end & vintage on ebay, and my vintage never gets much views so etsy has really helped me find a way to sell a lot of the vintage I find. $ 0.20 for 4 month listings and a litte under 3% if it sells. So far I'm ...

Re: How you score.

That's a bit counter-intuitive, isn't it? Raghouses may sort more in a day than your local thrift does in a month. If I had the chance to look through sorted items I would 100% do it, I have even placed orders through a couple companies and the quality wasn't the same as what I pick up myself ...

Re: Anyone sell on etsy?

I can say I got my first sale yesterday, took 7 days, but the views are coming, the questions are coming. I would say it is not as instant as ebay but I feel most likly in the next 6 months I should hit something. Only draw back is I will be sitting on inventory but we will see how it goes. I will ...

Re: Anyone sell on etsy?

Just got on etsy myself last week, got a couple questions and maybe about 10-20 views an item but no sale yet. Hoping to slowly build a little market but you have to work at it. There are a couple of people selling a decent amount of items on a daily basis but it does take hard work and promotion ...
