Bottom line I have a collection.  I checked them out on Ebay and some have hefty price tags and some are not so much.  Does anyone have a collection and do you wear them.  I am wondering how to sell them since I guess I went overboard and really have no need for them.  Guess I am looking for advice.

@bonnielu-

I wonder if you could go to David Dangle's facebook page or does he have a QVC blog and ask him if he has any suggestions.

@on the bay    Great suggestion.  I don't need them.  I guess I went overboard at some point.  I did wear them but was always afraid they would fall off and get lost.

i still purchase them, wear them, decorate with them. i am on an auto delivery program right now.

 

i have purchased them off of qvc, ebay, mercari, and from qvc resale pages and auctions on facebook. as you said, some can be purchased inexpensively and others are a bit on the high side.

Ebay's probably the best place to sell them.

 

I have a couple, but don't wear them much anymore. Thought about selling them but they're not ones that go for more than a few bucks on ebay.

@cherry  Yes pins/ brooches are making a comeback. I had 2 requests lately to make them. In both cases, I added a “loop” on the back above the pin piece (can’t see it from the front). If pins go out or customer would like, it can also be worn on a chain or leather cord.

LOVE brooches and pins!  They always look so smart on blazer or duster lapel.  They're not that easy to find, either.  The Joan Rivers bees are charming.  I'm not one for costume jewelry, but I can appreciate some of the more interesting pieces.

I can't help you but had to comment when I saw your post.  I have one bee pin that I purchased just before Joan passed, Today as. I reached for my bag I saw the pin on it.  I sighed and remembered Joan's story about the bee it made me smile.   I'm doing things I thought I could never do or would ever have to.
