I have to say that I've tried selling items from my Facebook fan page and it doesn't work for me. But recently I noticed one of my lampwork friends posting about a private Facebook page for auctioning lampwork beads. I was skeptical, so I messaged her and asked a ton of questions.
When she told me her sales were better then anywhere else online and that she was closing down her selling Etsy and Artfire shops I knew I had to give it a try, and am I glad I did!
My auctions usually run for 24-48 hrs. And within the first 24 hrs I had already made a sale. And again the next day. I have to say I'm pretty happy. I haven't sold everything I've listed, but that's okay!
I love the idea of being able to interact with the buyers, and I'm available to answer questions if needed. What buyer wouldn't want that?
This group is called Artisan Lampwork Beads For Sale . This is a closed group, but you can easily join by clicking one button. They monitor it very strictly to make sure only artisan beads are listed. And that's really good. So if you make lampwork or like to buy it head on over there and sign up. You won't be sorry!
