    I tried to post a similar question as this several days ago but
    never saw it posted; if it was and I missed it (which would make this
    a duplicate post) I apologize. 

    Obviously lots of people shop online for various things, but I'm
    curious, have any of you had any significant success selling retail
    online, either via your own personal website or via auction sites
    like Ebay? 

    I have a silver jewelry store, and like (I assume) most retailers,
    have a certain amount of "dead" inventory--designs which didn't sell
    as well as expected and which I replaced with better selling designs.
    Personally I don't like having "sales" and/or having showcases filled
    with discounted items (I think it gives the wrong impression to
    customers, cheapens the store, and trains customers that if they
    wait, eventually the item they want will be placed on sale), but what
    to do with my old inventory? 

    I've thought about sending setting up a booth at local street/music
    festivals (which is how I got my start) but also want to look into
    selling the stuff online. Any feedback or advice from any of you? 

Thanks in advance, 
Doug
