Turquoise rings

[Beachkid23]

If you had a whole bunch of these rings that were turquoise and other stones. all Navajo and Zuni made. How would you sell them? Buy it now, auction them, Facebook, lots, wholesale. I only bought 438 pieces this weekend. I've been listing them one by one. They have done pretty well too. But wondering if anyone has suggestions. Or just keep at it? I'm into everyone for about $5.50 apiece. I bought these this weekend. Here's a sample. The person I bought them from suggested the fleamarket but TIS not the season for that right now.

If they met my minimum profit margin I'd list them individually. Looks like a lot of them are the same style so I'd list one of each style. As they sold I'd take new pictures & hit sell similar. Having said that, it would depend on whether or not money for new inventory was available.

Here are my 2 cents. I've sold the same styles before so if you have any questions send me a message.

Step 1: Look for a mark, signature, etc
-the bottom picture are rings that are probably QTC or non native. You will probably have to list those under Southwestern on ebay otherwise they might get yanked. It's also the right thing to do. I've sold those from $10-25 a piece.

Step 2: Make sure you list the right style. I see a lot of needlepoint inlay, snake eye turquoise, zuni inlay, bypass rings, etc. This will dramatically change the value.

Step 3: Decide on how buyer specific they are. If you have some size 4 or 13's they might sit awhile so maybe list them at fixed price. The rest you could easily sell doing an auction starting at .99 cents free shipping.

All my NA pieces usually get bought up right before Christmas so you found them right at the right time. The MOP rings might sit awhile also. I usually sell them for $10-15 a piece but they take forever to move. The turquoise will go pretty quickly. A lot of artists are struggling to find quality turquoise which is why you are seeing a lot more spiny oyster shell and MOP pieces.

Hope that helps!
