I sew, and when I decide to buy a piece of fabric, I want it now. ðŸ˜ƒ á“šá˜á—¢

Have smaller pieces as auctions closer to cost, run sporadically throughout the day to generate more exposure for your brand. Then your larger buy it now pieces run all at the same time close to your normal business hours (what ever your time zone 9-5 type schedule m-f) at the best profit for your business model. Utilize the auction model to draw in more customers to your business.

Is it something rare and unique that you think people would be willing to bid on due to its rarity and uniqueness? Something whose price cannot be easily determined? Then you want to Auction it.

Or is it something common you can find at your local Walmart? Then you want to BIN it.

Make it easy. . . .

Just send it to me ! ðŸ˜„ ðŸ˜„ ðŸ˜„

I think using "Buy It Now" is the best way of selling.

You could also put Or Best Offer on the some or all the listings.

Check on some of the vintage for the prices. I was going through a case of fabric 2 days ago and I I found some very old Wizard of Oz fabric that was going at $25./yard. ( OMGoodness )
