best way to sell a corset?

May 21, 2008 12:36

I have a PVC corset to sell.

What is the best way to go about it?

Keep in mind I am not the most technically minded person and ebay scares me ;p

Offer it to your friends here? Post a picture and name your price. By the looks of things lots of people sell things via LJ before they try e-bay or other avenues.

Which corset?

that is a good idea :)

It is my Vic Gothic PVC 23inch.

It is the same one Holly is wearing in her bob and hotpants shot.

I have no idea how much to charge. It cost me $300.00 two years ago.

How much do you want for it? Charge that ;D Great help I know, but that is what I tell Glenn about his art works.

thank you :D

hmm, I think Nicky has the right idea

$150 should work :)

Yep, I'd offer it here, and there's some LJ corset communities.

purples May 22 2008, 01:39:54 UTC

cool. I think I will do just that.

LJ or MGF, but you have to name your price otherwise people will give you rediculous offers... like now *ahem* I'll give you $100 for it!!

purples May 22 2008, 01:40:34 UTC

hehe - well I was thinking $150.00 but I am sure I could work something out for a sexy lady such as yourself ;)

fuxysparkles May 22 2008, 23:51:57 UTC

If you're still offering it honey, I would pay $150 for sure!

purples May 23 2008, 04:37:01 UTC

cool.

I will show it to you and if you want it is is yours for $150.00, if you dont I will take it to Peril or ebay :)

Try the corsetry lj journal- that is where most corset sales happen on lj- I've sold some stuff there before and if people know the brand they will pay reasonably for it.
If you have no luck there and wanna try Ebay I'm happy to list it for you :)

purples May 22 2008, 01:41:18 UTC

I think lj is easier for me ;p

However if I dont get a response I may take you up on the Ebay offer :)

thank you :D

Just be aware of the £-$ conversion rate if you're looking to sell in another country. Do you have paypal, etc. A good picture of the corset will be your best selling point, and don't be afraid to say how great a garment it is. (btw don't you like it anymore?)

purples May 22 2008, 01:42:42 UTC

that is true. I might just list it on here to begin with and see how I go.

Oh I still love it and will buy another one in the same design. This one is just too big for me as I am now wearing a 20 inch.
