Mobile pendants

[HerrPersilja]

Hi forum,

Some mobile pendants I've done.
I'm trying to sell them at the swedish version of ebay, but no one seems to wanna buy.
Stupid swedish people. I hate them.

have you tried putting them on etsy? I bet they would sell pretty fast there

i tried to sell on etsy, but still after 2-3 months the only one who had bought from me was a friend of mine.

Does anyone still use the mobile pendents? I haven't known anyone in the last 4 years who has had a cell phone with an antennae on it.

Well, use it as a christmas tree decoration then or whatevs, I don't give a selznick.

A lot of smart phones that I've seen don't have a loop for a phone charm/mobile pendant/what have you, but those who don't have a smart phone probably still will.

Also, they would look decent on a key chain, or grouped together on a larger string as a rear view mirror decoration. (I bet if you gave people 'ideas' on Etsy, those would sell quickly!)

True, true. Them kids uses smart phones nowadays. Didn't think bout that. Thanks
Yeah, maybe I should take pictures on how they can be used.
Etsy... I don't know... didn't sell anything and had to pay every month for each item.
I take $10 for each. Is that too expensive?

Unfortunately you might be asking for too much. It's a size vs. time issue. I know it takes a lot of time, but because it's small, I don't think people would buy it. I actually would want it - up until you ask for $10. I asked my husband the same thing - he said he wouldn't pay $10 either.

It's a wall I've had when trying to sell my own hand crafted stuff. (I mostly do beaded jewelry)

[HerrPersilja]

Yeah, and to get a decent wage for the amount of time I've spent the price would be like $50
That's the sad thing with handcrafts. The only way to get the money back one spend is to buy a factory in China and let them stitch 18 hours /day, every day, for a few cents /hour.
But I think the closer the buyer gets to the maker of the handcraft, the higher the price.
If selling worldwide on the internets (Etsy), not very high price.
If selling on national auction site to fellow countrymen, a little bit higher price.
If selling face to face in a market around christmas time, quite a high price.
But it still wouldn't be close to $50
I'll let you guys now if they are sold and for what price.
