Vintage Dress Patterns

http://tinyurl.com/2pmtrh

Vintage dress patterns (or any vintage pattern for that matter) are easily found at church rummage sales you pay pennies for them usually. Just check inside the envelope and make sure the pieces are all there. Many times the pattern is unused which makes sorting the pieces very easy. We have seen the older style women's dress patterns do very well. Sometimes they close as high as $150. The typical price is between $20-$70 though. I think for a quarter and maybe twenty minutes work photographing, describing and uploading two pictures, I'd be happy with $30 or so. These ship quite nicely, also. Just grab a small manila envelope and apply first class post and you are good to go. The cost is a total of $2.00 for postage and possibly as much as $1.00 for the pattern. Your fees will be perhaps 10% of $30 which is approximately $3.00 + insertion fee of $.85. Total cost less than $7.

A very easy and economical way to teach yourself or your children a nice selling niche.
