Things fluctuate from time to time. Sellers who sell everything for triple figures, dip back to selling few for single figures. Popular themes can be popular one moment, and not, the next. Collectors get busy with other things. There is no real way of knowing. I do advise not dropping prices, as that hurts everyone. And it's so much harder to bring your prices up, once dropped.

I think those that succeed list often and lots. They keep up with their most collected themes until they lose popularity, but also add new themes into the mix. Check what is selling in 'completed' listings for themes you might like to try. Your most popular themes can be retried every few months. Offer prints.

I have no real answers, if I did, everyone would already be doing them. 🙂

I know of no way to boost current art card buying other than perhaps do them for the season - Halloween, thanksgiving, Christmas. Provided your best work for your best prices. Keeping up quality work will always attract buyers.

Perhaps some others have more thoughts on this topic.

Good luck with your listings.

Tried Tophatter.... etsy... e=bay and even Craigslist.... (get them foreigners willing to pay 10 times the asking price and.... send someone to pick it up even... know thats a scam).... anyway if ya all know of any outlets let me know
