Scrapbook Supplies for Sale
Hi all --
I've been trying to focus on some new things in my life -- and I have realized lately how much "stuff" I have that I'm not really using and probably won't ever use. I have a huge closet packed full of scrapbooking supplies -- every kind of tool, embellishment, rubber stamps, stickers, scrapbook paper, templates, idea books, markers, etc.
I've decided that I am so busy right now that I'm realistically not going to use the supplies -- and because I'm going to more digital scrapbooking -- I won't be needing most of the physical scrapbooking stuff anyway. So, I'm looking at selling everything. I have probably $20,000 worth of scrapbook stuff -- and would like to get at least $5,000 for everything.
Do you have any suggestions on the best way to sell scrapbook supplies?
I thought about selling on eBay but then there's the eBay fees which are getting ridiculously high, and the issues with shipping 12x12 paper and awkward sizes, and then having to list everything. So I think I've ruled that out.
Then I've thought about having a garage sale -- but do you get very much from a garage sale? Is the time spent getting everything ready worth it? That may be the way I'll end up going -- but I thought I'd open up the discussion to the scrapbooking community at large.
If you have any suggestions for me on how to sell of of my scrapbook supplies, please let me know! Thanks so much!

Hello. I don't know what possessed me to join Club Scrap, but years went by and I found myself this past winter selling off way (WAY) too many unopened kits on ebay. It took a lot of time and effort to take the photos and list the proper items, but the end result was that I received very good prices for everything and lost very little money. The items I didn't sell on ebay I donated to a local high school that was starting a paper crafting after-school program. I would avoid local scrapbook stores and their "yard sales" because they only compensate in store credit, and you don't want anything new. If it were me and I were selling $5K worth of product, I would put an ad in a craft paper or magazine, and list the entire pile at one time. Someone with a store might be interested in the whole lot just for class supplies. Heck if I had $5,000 I'd send you a check tomorrow! Good luck.
