Yeah, and thanks! Originally I was selling about half of my purses on Etsy and half in a physical store that let me keep my stuff in there for free since I know the owner. I would say that both venues were about equal in sales, I'd sell one in the store then one on Etsy...it pretty much alternated. I no longer have my stuff up in that local store as of a couple months ago but my stuff still seems to be selling pretty well on Etsy alone. I've made around forty bags total to put up for sale since I started this venture and so far I have sold thirty-five of them (one I donated to a charity fundraiser and I still have four bags left in my Etsy shop.) When I list them in that $20-$50 price range they seem to have an excellent track record of selling. I seem to sell at least one bag a month, but it really depends on how many I am putting up for sale I guess. It's always good to have a variety of items at different prices for people to choose from. I would also make sure you buy your bags/wallets from secondhand, clearance or bulk sources so you can keep the cost of materials low. Ebay, hobby shops and thrift stores are great. Hope that helps!

There, I even made a custom ear listing on Etsy. [link]
