Default "Cattle Prices Did What?"

Finally got this guy painted. Comments welcome as always. More photos on the Blog.

I've been thinking of putting a carving on Ebay just for the fun of it to see what happens. Anyone out there have any experience doing that with woodcarvings?? Appreciate any info you can pass along.

I like the look on that guys face!! awesom......oooppppsss great carving lynn!!! super as always, i've sold a few items did ok but my carvings aren't up to par with yours either,best thing to do is a search first,look for carvings that are doing well and look to see what categories they are using and you will probably want to use the same ones.alot in the sucessful listings on e-aby is the listings themselves making sure you list in the right categories.good luck let us know when you do list.

Afraid to use the "A" word but,,,,,,,,,,, That is one Rad carving.
I too am not up to par with your carving level but have sold some on Ebay. Good and bad experiences. However, put a minimum price on it or you might sell it for a lot less than it should bring.
I got a nice Santa carved by a carver from this board that I respected for his works and feel that I stoled it from him. But then, sometime that is the bad experience from selling on ebay.
Just my thoughts without the "A" word.
Best wishes.

you can put a reserve on what you saleing it for that way you can start the bidding rather low and if the bids doesn,t go above your reserve then it doesn,t sale that way you don,t have to give your carving for to lower price than you thing its worth!!! Ebay
P.S. very nice carving.
Vic.

Great carving Lynn! I don't think you would have any problem selling it on EBAY and get out of it what you think it is worth. For a collector who would like to have one of your pieces, I'm sure you wouldn't have any problem. The same goes for Phil and Vicki.....very good opportunity/avenue to sell your work, as long as you put a reser on it at Vic said.
