to my surprise

In our little town, they have a facebook classified page, It is pretty new here and I had only heard about it last week. I thought I would give it a look. Mostly it was local woman selling cloths, tupperware and reducing pills. I thought, " What the heck, it costs nothing, i will place an add on it and see if I get any results. I posted in the morning and that evening the replies started coming in. It was the word embedded signs and I had just learned how to make them from Travis's tutorials. I screwed up the first one too.  well within a couple of hours I had 7 orders from that post. I am selling the signs for $29. It must be a good price by the response I got. I only sold one off my Facebook page, that reaches a whole lot more people than our classified one does. so I made a couple hundred bucks in one day and enjoyed how easy they were to make. I suggested they choose a silhouette to put on the sign and everyone choose something different. I think it added a little more to the signs. Here is a photo 6 of the ones I made.

All but one if these signs were picked up at my house because they were local and our town is so small. I did need to ship one to Arizona. They cost me for the glue, blades and sand paper, so maybe $1 each. I have a lot of wood for these that was given to me. The classified page was put on Facebook by a local gal. Kind of like the pages that a lot of us have for our woodworking. Anyone can make your town or city one on Facebook if they wish to. Our page is called something like Heppner Lexington Ione classified. I think you can easily find it if you look. It is not very big but it worked for me.

Dang!  Those are really nice.  I like the silhouettes and all the different fonts. You are one clever guy!  Those WOULD go over well in Arizona. In the trailer parks where the "snow birds" hang out during the winter, and the retirement trailer parks where some people live year round, nearly every trailer/house has some kind of sign like that.

Yeah, my wife is on an online garage sale on facebook and is selling things all the time. I don't have time to make stuff and try to sell it online.

Bill,

  You don't need to fill the online garage sale site with a lot of different things. Just pick one or two that you can reproduce if you receive a few requests and see what happens that is what I did with mine. Too many things just make it harder for you, I think. Try one and see what happens..
