How would you list these?

[marsha91091]

I have a set of 12 of these Crown Staffordshire demitasse cup & saucers.

I'm hesitant to sell it as a set of 12 as I feel it would be a packing nightmare, plus does anyone really use that

big of a set?

I'm debating how to break it up....6 & 6, or maybe 8 & 4, or 4 & 4 & 4 ?

It would probably be the most profitable to sell it 1 set at a time but I can't stand the thought of it hanging around forever.

Any suggestions?

I would do 6 + 6. And easier to pack up.

Just like placemats, not many buyers want 4 or eight, 6 seems to be the magic number.

I think it's a rarer floral, lotsa luck with them!

I would list the max you’d want to pack together as a MQ listing with a buy more and save discount. So if the max you’d like to ship together is six, then list with the qty of six and as they sell, revise the qty available to maintain six.

I would do sets of two with a volume discount. Make it flexible.

My thoughts were for a combination of all the suggestions above. For example, if you're comfortable shipping 6 sets together list individually or in a lot of 2 in a multiple quantity listing with a maximum of 6 sets available. When you sell some change the available as needed.

I would do sets of two also. Chances are these may be bought for a collection or display. You can do a multi quantity listing with the notation to ask you about shipping for multiple sets.

Pretty pattern! I would just list it as one cup and saucer with a quantity of 12. Then you can catch the buyer who only needs one to replace a broken one.
