Question about selling gemstone beads, briolettes - Not an ad

I have just gotten a huge new shipment of gorgeous blue topaz, citrine, peridot, garnet, and ruby beads, mostly briolettes. I have a couple of questions for hobbyists who buy or sell gemstone beads online.


1) do you have better luck shopping or selling on ebay, justbeads, etsy, or someplace else?


2) Do you prefer lots of all the same beads, or small mixed lots? I think it would be awesome to sell a briolette lot with several of each different type that I have. But would it sell?

Thats always the big question, isn't it? I find things do better for me as a seller on Etsy than ebay, and 20 cents for a listing that lasts for 4 months is a very good gamble, as opposed to the fees on ebay for a week's auction. My vote is try it a couple of different ways on Etsy and if they dont sell, you are out less than a dollar. Sarajane
