Today's paper has an ad for "moving sale..workshop items, table saw, Delta jigsaw...wooden toy making supplies..selling craft supplies including 100's of different sized bags and much more. Many must-see items are like new."
I am not in the crafts line except for books. Does this sound like a hobbyist is moving and selling stuff? Or more like a flea market? Any tips on what I should look for? Maybe patterns?

keziak....I am a crafter/hobbyist/woodworker and have also listed craft/hobbyist items on EBAY and done well. Mostly with woodworking books, counted cross stitch books, and kits of all sorts, wood, cross stitch, etc. Haven't ever tried my own handcrafted items, except once, and got no bids. (And it was an item that I have sold $5000.00 worth of locally, so I know it sells) Lots of lookers though, maybe it was the wrong time of year. Then, this post is probably too late now anyway, but you will know next time. Some of the stuff I listed went for double what I got it for.....go figure!
