Selling Pfaltzgraff: Individual pieces or set?

[belladova]

Hello eBay Community,

I'm a fairly new seller and I'm filled with what I'm sure must sound like very silly/annoying questions.

Soooooo ... I apologize in advance for my ignorance.  This time my questions are on a Pfaltzgraff coffee set I have ready for sale - pic included.

I'd like to offer the items for individual sale AND as a complete set.

Is this possible?  How should I set it up so it's not confusing for the buyer? 

I've seen other coffee mugs on eBay, but I don't see the sugar bowl or creamer anywhere.  Does this mean I could charge a bit more for these items?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Much more experienced and successful dinnerware sellers than I will have answers for you.  If you can't find the sugar/creamer on ebay, I'd list them separately from the mugs.

Because of shipping costs, I always dither on how many pieces to list together.  Besides checking active and comleted listings to see how your mugs do/don't sell, do consider shipping costs.

Did you google the sugar and creamer to get an idea of pricing/availability on other sites?

Thanks -
Wayfair has the sugar/creamer set listed at $25.99. It seems a bit difficult to find - most everywhere it is out of stock. What are your thoughts on selling them separately from each other?

Selling Pfaltzgraff can be a big ask. Now listing it is another thing entirely = )

That stuff is HEAVY to ship and I no longer pick it up for resale unless it's a rare piece.

Personally (as you already have it) I'd sell the sugar & creamer together as one listing, and the mugs individually.

There's no way to set up a listing as individually AND as a set at the same time btw.

Oh, and older harder to find Pfaltzgraff sells better here than newer stuff. You have to remember any time a buyer searches for Pfaltzgraff here the actual Pfaltzgraff store on eBay comes up on top of the search.
