question for crafters: tole painting booklets

I have a box or two of them and no really strategy. I was able to go through and pull some out to lot by seller and a couple of those lots sold. I guess I could go through and sort out any about Christmas next.  There's not a lot in Solds history though 25 seems to be saleable. Any recommendations?

I would try putting like subjects together - all Christmas, all floral, all country themed, etc.

Re: question for crafters: tole painting booklets

I think you had mentioned selling these for 25 cents each at one time.  I would value them at 50 cents each (net) and put them in one unsorted lot. This would eliminate a lot of research and sorting time. It would also keep the shipping costs to a minimum. Hopefully, you find a reseller who specializes in this sort of book and sees the overall value and is willing to separate them and list them at a markup.  Put make offer on the listing and entertain reasonable offers. Win, win.

I don't know. I guess the next step might be to try to find multiples by certain authors. Or themes as suggested. They look so miscellaneous to me. 

 

The 25 cents I mentioned before is what the library sells them for in their shop. Maybe I can't get more than 25 cents by lotting them up here. So that would be pointless because the library would get LESS by selling online due to my cut. I should probably need to sell here for at least 50 cents each or, better, $1 each.
