There are lots of different steps that go into selecting vintage.
This is the first of an occasional series of posts on the process and the how,
why and what of the Gleaming Kist Etsy shop.
When choosing items for the Gleaming Kist Etsy shop I think
about a number of criteria.
It’s really important that I have some “feel” for the item myself. Condition matters a lot online, if someone can pick up and touch an item before buying then they get a sense of the condition but online, with only pictures to go on, I tend to err on the side of caution. I also prefer to pick items that I think will stand a good chance of surviving the postal system intact.
- Do I like the item
- Do I think others will like it too
- Is it in reasonable vintage condition
- Is it practical for postage?
