Selling Advice

ichiban_victory latest has post had gotten me thinking about an issue I've been pondering about for awhile.

I have some anime stuff which I honestly don't want any more. Normally, I would donate it to the local women's shelter or the church for their bring and buy...BUT I think it would be a bit awkward for a church to try to sell four volumes of Sorcerer's Hunters manga and an Ichigo plush doll. -_-;

With that said, I'm pondering if I should sell them online, but I have no idea which is the best way to do so. I know there's ebay and the like, but I've seen people just sell stuff from their own livejournal as well. Do any of you guys have any advice or knowledge on this?

And another question, I've been toying with the idea it would be nice to try to do commissions, but I don't know what people would be interested enough to buy (and plush I worry about my sewing skills not being up to selling quality).

There are the chibi dolls I've been making for gifts, but the pattern I used for that isn't mine, so I wouldn't feel right making money on someone else doll pattern. If I tried to sell dolls, I would probably have to come up with my own designs.

I've also made felt cakes/desserts, and I know a bit of making bead jewelery which I could try to learn more of. What do you guys think? Do I have any talent worth trying to sell? (And I won't be surprise if a lot of you say "No." )

Disney Thirty Days #5

Day #5- Your favorite hero



I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the meme that infects your livejournal! I am DARKWING DUCK!

I picked Darkwing Duck because he's Disney's own little superhero (yeah, I know there are also Gargoyles, but I think DW fits more the classic description.) Darkwing Duck is a fun superhero, but unlike Batman and Superman, he has a large ego and is more than willing to accept the fame and fortune that comes with it. Although wit that said, he does have a code of honour and doesn't think twice about saving someone. Plus, he is a loving father to Gosling and does try to protect and help people he cares about.

One of the favorite things the writers loved to do with DW was write superhero parodies with. There have been a dozen episodes with him getting super powers. Darkwing Duck has gotten super speed, grown extra arms (spiderman reference), morphing powers just to name a few. One of the ongoing gags of the show is that Darkwing Duck has a dozen origin stories of how be became a superhero. There was an episode claiming he came from a dying planet (clearly Superman), one where it showed he came from a long line of heroes (Phantom I guess) and even one where he just took spare costumes from his high school storeroom.

With all of that said, I also highly recommend reading the new Darkwing Duck comic. *hugs first two issue*. I was planning on waiting for the paperback, but I couldn't resist. Also, apparently in my comic shop they been selling like hotcakes. The Darkwing Duck love lives on!
