I have some beads and finding that I need to destash. Plastic, lucite, shells, buttons, glass. Plus some vintage clip back and screw back earring findings.
how do you find Etsy and Blujay compare, or do you use one for other things than the other? I looked at your listings, but I admit that I didn't take the time to compare.

I find that it's a little easier to sell supplies on Etsy. There are a lot of crafters there that are looking for beads and other supplies and will really search to find a great deal. I have found many, many sellers on Etsy (that I've bought from) that have been absolutely fabulous and I love the site. I haven't sold any of my craft supplies on Blujay yet but I figured I would give it a try. Since Blujay is free to use....I thought I'd throw some things on there in hopes to get some more sales.

Thanks Jan. I looked at prices for supplies at Etsy and concluded that, if I include the listing fees, there are very few things that I can sell for that and still make a profit (unless I can talk suppliers into using priority mail flat rate - some do that automatically, some just plain don't -, shipping cost to Hawaii takes your profit margin right out of it. Example: even with USPS priority flat rate the last order I got in was $11.- in postage
+insurance, for an $80.- order.)Looking at Blujay being free, the question only is whether things actually sell. I think I might just try that out myself in spite of you saying that you didn't sell any of your supplies yet.

Maren, I'm a big fan of Just Beads. I'd give them a try.
