Vendor Confirmation for the Philly 2012 Black Doll Show

Guess who will attend this year's International Black Doll Show and Sale?

Doll connoisseur Linda C. Hayes!

And even better, she has something special from the West Indies to offer us. No hints were provided. Just the teaser that we would not be disappointed. Curious? Me, too! I hope for a new playscale doll or playscale doll accessories, but Ms. Hayes sells many kinds of dolls. So the mystery item(s) could be ... any thing. Hmmm ....

Come on May 26, 2012!

eBay or Etsy: What are the Pros and Cons?

Help wanted: What are the Pros and the Cons of Ebay vs. Etsy?

Someone had posted that question on an alumnae board, and I thought it would be interesting to explore here. Many of you are impressively creative and you have Etsy sites already. I think Etsy = fine crafts, but what about eBay for fine crafts? I mean, eBay is all about stuff (and services and events, etc.). How do you decide whether to post your goods on Etsy and when on eBay?

I visited these websites for background information, but if you want to suggest some other sites, I'd be happy to add them to this list.

FS: Vintage and Mod Items on eBay, Part 1

Additional photos of some things I am selling on eBay:

These fashions will be sold with Ken, Midge, PJ, and Francie mixed lot. Note: these are all used fashions.

The tan felt jacket is from 1969, #1429 Rally Gear for Ken. It has a pinprick hole in the back. The light blue jacket has a pink spot (bleach reaction?) on the back of the right sleeve. Francie's #1289 Note the Coat, white coat has a brown spot on the lining. The Francie hot pink w. yellow stripes swimsuit has been stretched. The Talking Julia jumpsuit has a tiny hole in it.

Next row, Julia's #1751 Leather Weather coat is very stiff. Next to it is a red vinyl bag that appeared with various outfits. Then there is the original Twiggy outfit - yellow mod boots and a color blocked knit dress. The dress has a tiny hole on it, too. Then we have #1459 Barbie's Great Coat; on the back of the yellow "leather" coat there is a small gray blemish on the back. Finally, the green jacket is part of #1512 Pretty Power, a Sears Exclusive Francie gift set.

Smackdown Sale Continues Until Sunday, May 6 10:00 PM

I intended to announce the Smackdown Sale earlier this past Friday. Unfortunately, it took longer than I expected to gather the links, etc. so by the time the notice was submitted, the Sale was over. Way to go? NO, lol. Not if I want to sell stuff.

So the Sale continues until 10:00 PM Eastern Standard, Sunday, May 6th, 2012.

Happy Hunting!
