I am up to 70 listings this week on our ebay account for the store. All of the inventory comes to me at the shop! Thank you for your many inspiring ideas on how to increase sales!

Hi, I wonder if those vintage taper candles would have been ok if the buyer was willing to use a heat gun or hair dryer to straighten them. I would have cut them down to the characters and lit them to look like they had been lit and burned to that point. They would have been a cute vintage Christmas item to decorate with.
