Not sure why Google won't let me post a reply so thought I would try a new thread in response.

1. You can sell a lot on eBay if you make good stuff that people like. Stickley is still flaming hot. People want a deal on there but of you can control cost and have production type speed/labor, you can be profitable. Small items are better because of shipping hassle.

2. Etsy is a higher-end eBay type place and you can actually sell for real prices. Make small things so shipping is easy. Smaller audience but buyers do exist.

3. Local art fairs, etc. Don't do those "only" because you can get skunked (zero sales) real easy on a bad day or bad fit. It takes a while to learn that business and see what sells and to learn what shows are good and getting into the juried shows, etc. But can be one good source among many.

4. Consignment is tough. They want at least 30% and often 50% but if you can find some places it can be easy money. I make "Antique like" faux finished stuff and it sells through consignment some.

5. Roadside setup. I made Adirondack chairs and could seel a truck load any weekend I wanted to park in the wine country area near my home. Also sold my faux antiques along side the road in the gold-country area. Any tourist areas. I never had a permit, just took cash and never got hassled except once and they just said "move along" it was more of a traffic issue than selling. I have a "Square" now and can take credit cards this summer season which I plan for Gold Country again.

6. Local cabinet shops, the big ones, often get requests for custom stuff they don't want to bother with. If you can impress them they may throw work your way but you need to keep visiting once they say maybe.
