I am sure I am not the only with this problem but my cabs seem to be stacking up. I like etsy and all but I really hate doing all the work it takes to list my cabs on there. By the time I take 4-5 good photos and write up a good description I have spent longer trying to sell the cab then it took me to make it. I am thinking I'll offer my teenage son an hourly rate to get some posted for me. These are just my cabs that are not listed on etsy right now. I am guessing around 200 but too lazy to count. Thanks for looking Chuck

Awesome!! Have you tried Facebook? I know some there that list and sell their cabs very well. No write-up, and usually one pic~ You would need to send a paypal invoice, and keep track yourself (Etsy does that for you) and input your own shipping labels to send, but I shop for cabs there as often as I buy them off Etsy!

Really nice stones, great selection. I couldn't pick just one that's for sure.

What a phenomenal display of natures art and your talent! I think you need to open up at storefront! What about wholesaleing to a local jeweler?

As a favor, because I am such a great guy; I will give you $50.00 for the lot of them. That way you won't need to bother with listing them all. Overly generous? Probably, but I am here to help you! Great mix of stones Chuck, and I do feel your pain. It took me two weeks to photograph, edit, upload, and create adds for the 180 items I listed. It was miserable Good luck! Roger

Chuck, first it is obvious you love making them. Obvious thru both the number and the terrific quality! Can you inlist the help of a young person who wants to make a little money? Or maybe you could make groups of ten of similar value and take one group pic and post them as "your choice any one for $X dollars?

Thanks for all the positive comments everyone! Chuck, first it is obvious you love making them. Obvious thru both the number and the terrific quality! Can you inlist the help of a young person who wants to make a little money? Or maybe you could make groups of ten of similar value and take one group pic and post them as "your choice any one for $X dollars? Yeah Mark, I am thinking of either paying my oldest son a set fee per listing he creates or offering him commission on on cabs he lists that sell. Great mix of stones Chuck, and I do feel your pain. It took me two weeks to photograph, edit, upload, and create adds for the 180 items I listed. It was miserable Roger Roger, I was thinking about all the work you must have put into your etsy when I seen how many items you had listed (Nice stuff on there too by the way). Chuck

SO beautiful! Some of those cabs are really superb! The striped "shield" in the last pic for example, but there are many more of them.

What a great collection. I've sold some cabs in the past but like you I feel the time required to actually sell the item isn't worth it. I like making cabs, talking cabs seeing cabs but not selling cabs. We keep about half of what we make and either make them into jewelry for ourselves or put them in shadow boxes that we hang on the wall. We have about 800 to 1000 on the wall and the number is always growing.
