It’s the new internet game show, “Can You Sell This???” The game tonight is to meet the marketing challenge on this page — that means to try to sell everything on the page at full retail. Ready to begin?
The way it works is you grab a screenshot of the items you want to sell, and use those screenshots to sell the item, maybe on your web page or social media outlet — don’t forget to mark it up double, to get your full retail.
This is a way that you can use a multi-million dollar inventory without putting a single penny out of pocket, and you can start your own online gift shop this way, without having to spend anything to get started, and you’ll have hundreds of items on the virtual shelves!
Here’s a two-inch square “Empty Classified Document Folder” button you ought to be able to sell at $5.99 retail, and for a while, everybody will know what your button means. After that, it’ll be a collectible. If you get into a jam and you need some extra cash, you might sell the button to the highest bidder.

Here’s my special “Angel of Gratitude” Coffee Mix, and it’s a great gift idea for the coming holidays! You buy them by the dozen at $4.85 per pack, and sell them with my Blessings!

This is a TimeStopper Watch, $103.00, with a reproduction of one of my angel paintings behind the hands — there are no numbers, because it would have wrecked the artwork effect, but you can train yourself to read the watch without the numbers, if you can manage to wean yourself from the digital output on your continuously-clutched cell phone, God forbid it should slip from your fingers for a second or two.
How about a pair of Designer Socks that will set your customer back a bit, but where these days can you get totally customized 5th Ave. boutique socks for under $40.00??? You’ll have to produce your own if you want to sell them for that — $36.58 is my wholesale, so it’s definitely a high-end boutique item, not an impulse item for the register, although I’ve seen it done by the very brave. If you do your own, you can hand-sign them for an extra shipping fee, first to your house, then to your customer’s — double mailing costs, but you can charge more for hand-signed items. Sign both of them on the toes, of course.
I know I already have watches in this list, up above, but I had to show you the coin collection. Nice Early American coin, eh? I have the actual coin for sale at $7,500.00, but you can get the coin photo watch for only $103.00 — the strap is leather, and there are over fifty varieties from which to choose — men’s, women’s and children’s designs & sizes. Retail is $225.00 for this Coinology Designer Watch.
This is a paper dinner plate — there are salad plates, bowls, napkins and more — from an original ceramic plate that would have cost you $450.00 if we still made them, which we don’t. Originals are in the Clinton Collection & White House memorabilia. You can buy them for $4.00 apiece and resell them mounted in a shadow frame for $89.95 easily.

This 110 piece puzzle measures 8″x10″, 520 pieces at 16″x20″, and there are other sizes as well — some fit the image, but be careful — some don’t. I recommend these two sizes because they fit perfectly. The screenshot is from our Prosperity Path Virtual Ashram.
Magical Lip Balm featuring various CQR Resonators, unflavored and flavored, your choice — you get 12 for $36.00 and they can sell for up to $12.00 apiece in the right setting. You can also make your own, and charge less, but it adds up fast, and doesn’t pay to undercut the market. This is different from all the others — it’s Brane-Power.
Ceramics, Cups & Mugs are a best-seller, so you’ll want to be sure to shop the whole collection — there are hundreds of cups available in all styles and types.
So full-color two-sided postcards are part of the deal, and what’s more, they’re only $3.11 to you, then you get $6.00 OR MORE for your custom postcard, printed to order. You can get a slightly better deal when you order 1,000 or more cards with the same image.
Designer Brownies — no kidding — freshly baked brownies with original EDIBLE artwork, and I guarantee that you’ll be amazed, astounded and astonished at what they can do with food these days! I’ll send you to the Enneagram Collection to see just a few of the tasty treats I have on hand!
Designer Flip-Flops can be a starter for a boutique fashion collection — I have about 100 designs, so feel free to wade in and check them out for resale! They sell for $68.20, so they’re definitely not for a discount wear house. You need seriously well-off customers for this line.
The tote bags are the main feature of my fashion offerings — this one is big, but there are all sorts of sizes and shapes from which to choose, all at around $70. This is a well-made bag.
Resonators are photo reproductions of actual ammies, set in silver or silver plate bezels, and include the chain in all cases where a chain is indicated. Charms and lapel pins are also available on order, per your request I will make them.
The earrings collection is quite large. These are sterling silver or silver plate or gold plate, your choice, and you pay $48.83 for the silver plate rounds. I can sign the back, for a few dollars more, but I’d rather not. These are really fine, and the artwork is brilliant in this setting. I highly recommend starting with these if you can do nothing else at the moment.
There it is — my leggings collection. You can buy them from me for $137.00. I have cheaper ones that don’t fit well, if you’re bothered by price, but you should be selling these to folks to whom a couple hundred bucks means nothing. Where are those people? Don’t ask me, I’m just the artist. There’s no reason you can’t design your own, if you want to sell them cheaper, but these are best offered in the high-priced shops.
Healing stuff is in this collection, and each item carries with it my Blessing. The prices of the various items vary from very low to medium. Don’t forget that the silver items include a chain!
Ancient & Medieval Collection allows me to prepare ancient items that you cannot buy at any price, and mount the images in a variety of settings, such as this stunning golden pendant with chain.

There’s more, but that’s certainly enough to get you started. The idea is to sell the item before you buy it, then buy it to settle the exchange, and have them ship it to you, then you ship it to your customer, if you want to protect your sources, or you can have zazzle drop ship it directly to your customer.
Be careful on eBay — they get upset if you don’t actually have the item in your possession when you list it. Etsy is more kind and gentle. FAST shipping and fulfillment is the order of the day.
This is just to get you started. I expect you to use my examples to give yourself a starter push in creating your own stuff and selling it directly to your clients, which is the way artists used to work until galleries got in the way.
Galleries are all about kickbacks to the decorator — don’t use ’em unless you like the crowd on Fifth Avenue — I don’t get along well with the very rich, do you?
See You At The Top!!!
