where to sell costume jewelry

In my experience,  costume jewelry is hard to sell.  I have taken a lot to Mia's and to Smokies over the years with slow sales results.  If you have some exceptional pieces,  I personally would take them to Daniel Jackson.

Just a thot. Get several neighbors to help and have a garage sale, either at your house or if a friend has a high-traffic location house have it there. Display the jewelry on several tables: $50 pesos, $100 pesos and so on. Put up lots of signs advertising the sale. It would probably be sold in a few hours.

Todo Bueno consignment and resale shop, has excellent traffic and lighting, set up account you can it at todo bueno.

next to S&S auto.

i remember last year many pieces of costume jewelry where on sale, and also recall a few years ago someone brought 7 package of assorted  broken costume jewelry some good, put price of $200 peso on each package and sold half them in a week. There are creative artists who can do things with a package of costume jewelry at a good price.

Fred, You can also contact Julie and Wayne Hensley. They are specialists in garage and estate sales. In addition, there are a number of local sites on FaceBook that sell such items. Another possibility is to approach some of the nicer "boutique" shops in Ajijic that cater to tourists and see if they might buy them from you.

I took 2 pair of NEW shoes to Mia's in September.  Called the other day to ask and was informed they had not even been put on display yet.  Apparently their current backlog is over 4 months, which certainly was not mentioned at the time.  Had I known that...........       Be warned, Benji and others.

I have been dropping off items to Todo Beuno and getting some dinero at least every week when I drive in....today I brought the first pile of costume pins and phony pearls and they will price them and bag them for me......Mia's has never been a "go to place" for me as they have more items in storage then ever see the floor displays.....but you all have been very, very helpful and I will return the favor if I have info you might need.

A real story about Barbara's Bazaar:

I owned three antique table phones...bakelite cases with fabric covered cords in pristine condition. all updated with a modern connector..a 1939, 1940, 1941 and they all worked....because they had a dial tone when plugged in...."Tommy" said they must be phony because "there was no dial tone back then...." I never brought him anything else and don't plan on any further offers

Tommy has successfully sold unusual high-end items for friends using alternative resources. Your call.
