Question:

I have this crock, I am going to have to downsize my house and need to find a place that I can sell it. I live in Arizona and don’t know how to go about it. Can you give me some advice, on how or where I could sell it. It is in very nice condition, no hairlines or cracks, but does have one chip on one ear, and on smaller one on the other ear (which is almost hidden because it is on the underside of the ear.

Thank you so much for your help.

Nellie

Answer:

Nellie, you have a nice butterfly here.  The tough part is selling it in Arizona as there are not many Red Wing collectors in that area.  You really don’t want to ship it as it is large and quite heavy,so shipping charges will be quite high.  The best is to first try Craigslist and make sure that you state PICK UP.   If you have no luck there, you can try eBay, but again state PICK UP.   Every now and then, some one will state they want you to ship it.  If that happens let them know that you will take it to a UPS Store and they will package, insure and ship it at the their expense.   Good luck.  Al Kohlman
