Selling rubber stamps - advice please

16 replies

honeybrown · 19/03/2008 13:46

I am having a major clear out and wish to sell about 50 rubber stamps. They are brilliant quality (some unused - gulp!). Many of them cost a small fortune so, as I could use the cash, I plan to ebay them rather than give them away.
Can anyone tell me whether it is best to do this as a job lot or individually, please. Or perhaps you have any other ideas about where I can sell them on. Thank you

Honey, I would list them,take pics and try your luck on a crafting forum. (you will probably have to register!)Rubber stamps are expensive and many get passed on.

I, for one would be interested in seing what stamps you have!

Good luck.

ooh - honey maybe i need them whatcha got?

honeybrown · 19/03/2008 19:54

Where do I start?!!! It's quite shocking really what I have amassed over the last couple of years. However I gave myself 6 months and promised that I would let them go if I didn't get round to using them....

I have several Penny Black Margaret Sherry Collection Stamps - little hedgehogs eating birthday cake, mice on a birthday balloon, christmas bells. Some funstamps - teddy carrying birthday parcels (great for decoupage). Happy Birthday stamps, Christmas Stamps, Annadoodle stamps PSX stamps ....you name it, I probably have it.

Perhaps I'll take some pics and make an album. I'll try and post a link here - so if there's anything you like you can let me know. I can't really be bothered to take 200 pictures and make 200 individual ebay lots!!
Thanks for the advice.

I would batch them up in themes or makes of stamp and try to sell off individually, then pop what you have over, into batches.

I would be very interested!!
