[MOPO] Etsy vs. eBay

2011-02-01 Thread Russ Ryan
Just wondering if any dealers on here have tried listing their stuff on Etsy.com? Their fees are lower than eBay (20 cents per listing for 3-4 months and 3.5% of final sale) and they definitely attract a very loyal vintage art/design/collectibles-savvy crowd. Granted, I'm not a professional d

I like Tait's style! He seems wise beyond his years and is the bread and butter of what hopefully will be a limitless future for vintage movie poster collecting! In terms of expanding the hobby though, I think Bruce and the other poster titans should somehow find a way to reach the FRIENDS and FAM
