The Charm Cellar is Open for Business

It’s been a while since I started visualizing having my own site where I sell vintage charms. About a year ago I began with a vision and now it’s finally ready.

My New Maps of European Countries Charm Bracelet

My New Maps of European Countries Charm Bracelet

I just bought this bracelet on ebay and was going to disassemble it to sell but now I can’t decide if I want to sell it or keep it. It’s got ten enamel sterling silver European country maps including their flags in pastel colors. I’m a sucker for enamel charms.

My new website “The Charm Cellar” should be ready soon. I am eagerly looking forward to testing my skills at selling vintage charms on my very own independent site. Also I bought a new program called Phpbay that allows me to showcase my favorite ebay categories and searches on my blog pages.

Snapeez Locking Jump Rings Free with Every Vintage Charm Purchase

It’s a new marketing strategy I’m rolling out.  These are amazing little devices that snap shut pretty securely when used to attach a charm to a charm bracelet.  I haven’t lost a charm yet and I’ve been using them for a while now.  And they are much less expensive than soldering by a jeweler.  It’s [...]

Charmchatter Starts Advertising

Greetings charmers worldwide!  I’ve been very involved with my new job for the past couple of weeks and have neglected to do any blogging.  I’ve not completely forgot about this little site I’ve got started here though.

I’m Going to My First Jewelry Trade Show

I just received my badge and preview guide for the Orlando Gift Show and Jewelry & Accessories Expo to be held January 24-26 here in town.  I’m psyched.  This will be my first trade show and I’ve been taking notes from Lisa Suttora’s WhatdoISell audio training on how to navigate trade shows.  She tells about [...]

So Much Vintage Jewelry To Sell

So Much Vintage Jewelry To Sell

This morning I started thinking about goals for 2009, and decided that getting my jewelry inventory listed for sale would be a good start.  So I dumped it all out & started to sort.  But before I did I took this photo, which is about half of the box.  So now I have a list [...]

Mindset Matters

Mindset Matters

This afternoon I listened to a webinar called “Mindset Matters” given by Lisa Suttora, founder of WhatDoISell.com.   This came at a perfect time for me.  I have to admit that the past few weeks I’ve had days when I question my ability to do on-line sales.   Between the economy and the ebay foolishness my sales [...]

Bonanzle Blues

Bonanzle Blues

My own fault – sometimes I’m good on plan & bad on execution.  A month or so ago I uploaded my fixed price inventory from ebay over to Bonanzle when I started a Bonanzle Booth.  Unfortunately the template that I use on ebay transferred over a bunch of HTML in the text so all the [...]

My Strageties For The New Ebay Promotions

I’ve been doing some testing with the new Fixed Price 30 format and the free shipping that Ebay is offering now and have decided for my particular niche it isn’t really helping my business. There are a lot of variables involved and I haven’t officially calculated any profit or fee savings using high tech formulas [...]
