Doilies, Doilies, Doilies!!!
What are they? Lovely often hand crocheted ornamental mats often used under knick knacks.
What I Paid: $5 for several flats of them.
Where I got them: At a household auction in Kent OH. I also buy these on a regular basis at auctions, yard sales, or anywhere I can pick them up cheaply.
Where I sell them: In my antique mall rental rooms.
How I sell them: These can sell on eBay for anywhere from a few bucks to twenty depending on how ornate and detailed they are, but I prefer to sell them in my antique mall rental spots for a few bucks a piece. While I could get more on eBay I sell them in my vending rooms because it's it's a lot less labor intensive. It would take me several hours to a few days to list a large lot of these on eBay over the few hours it takes me to tag these with my prices and vendor information. They are also functional. I can place them under figurines I sell to make my spaces look nicer while I wait for them to sell. I only buy when I get them for literally pennies each so selling for a few bucks still offers a profit margin I'm comfortable with.
