The status is NOT quo.
SJ, I think you'd make a killing. You could use ebay even.

Do you think they would sell?
I think they might... thought I don't know much about ebay... but it's worth a shot. The baskets are so lovely.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I've totally been musing about the possibility of setting up a Buffista eBay store -- there are so many of us with random and lovely creative gifts, it seems we ought to be able to do something with 'em.

Thanks for the feedback. I need more money coming in somehow, and getting a job at the same time as I start school is just setting myself up for failure is so many ways. The problem is my baskets tend to run on the expensive side, and I am not sure if anyone would be willing to pay the money for them and/or realize that they are worth the money I would have to charge to make a profit.

sj, I still think eBay wouldn't suck as a venue for you. You won't have to put out the money for a physical storefront, and you can add any number of pictures of baskets you've already done so people can see what they're getting and where the money's going. And if they don't sell, at least you haven't invested much of anything but whatever time and energy it took to do a writeup and post some pictures.
If it is setting yourself up for failure, it's at least a tiny and manageable failure that won't break you -- and there's always the chance that people will actually like the idea.

sj, what JZ said. I used to be really involved in gel candle making and many of the people that I knew sold their wares on eBay and had a tidy little business.

You know the best basket I ever did for someone- I can't remember why 21st birthday, Mardi Gras or what- was a hangover gift basket. Hair ties and clips, cheap sunglasses, crackers, alka-seltzer, moisturizer, gatorade, power bar, and one of those freezy gell things.
