Hi! I have decided that I am going all digital with my scrapbooking. I love that I can do it anywhere and I love that I can delete when I change my mind (which is very, very often). So I have papers, storage units, stickers, etc. that I want to sell. I am looking for advice on how best to do this. I guess I am unsure what to charge for the cardstock, etc. Sell the stickers as one lot? Help! Advice needed. Thanks! Judy

I would check Ebay and see what the current prices are on there or also check Craig's List. You might also contact your local stores and see if they have trader's board that you could post it on.

Best of luck to you with selling on ebay.
I am not so knowledgeable about that stuff, but I do have STUFF:p that could be sold! Maybe one day it will be, or.. I will get an urge to 'undo' my digi obsession and paper some more.

I made the same decision you did...going digital. I have an embarrassingly over-stocked room, including hundreds of rubber stamps. I don't want to bother with eBay or Craig's List, and have actually thought of setting up "shop" when my neighborhood has its community garage sale. What I'd like to do is set up a table in the parking lot of a craft or rubber stamp/paper store, catching customers on their way in, selling at 1/4 cost, but I don't think that would last more than 2 minutes. LOL I'm interested in hearing everyone's suggestions too. Shar

Before you get rid, have you considered doing hybrid scrapbooking? There's quite a few people out there who combine digital with paper.....

Yes, I have thought of doing hybrid but it just doesn't work for me. I just seem to be the kind of person to do one or the other. I go into a layout thinking that I will do x, y and z on the computer and a, b and c with paper but end of doing the whole thing on my computer! I can sit here at my computer, with my husband on the couch, doing whatever instead of being down in the basement, isolated. And I have found all too often, I would make a page, sleep on it, and wake up and decide to change the whole thing. With digi scrapping, I just hit the delete key and move on. I like the idea of checking eBay and Craigs list for prices anyway. Thanks, wish me luck!!! Judy

Good luck on your sale! I looked at your genealogy website and like the layout. Wish our family would do that!

Thanks for the encouragement! As for my website, I am having someone do a major overhaul to it and it's a work in progress but I sure like what the webmistress has done so far! Judy
