Does Rubberslug Shop work?

I am about to give a donation for Rubberslug, mainly because I have used the site for a year now, and am quite happy with how the person(s) handle things.

Now, I have a question. As far as I know, you need to be a sponsor in order to post your items on the Rubberslug shop. Do items there actually sell? Or are people better off just posting on Beta or Ebay?

From personal experience I can say I've bought two cels via the RS shop. One I bought straight out at the price that was set; and the other I offered on just via gallery feedback and once the deal was finalised, it was removed by the seller I believe.

You might have more chance of selling on Ebay but the RS shop at least has no fees apart from that one time sponsor donation. And I think it at least is a good place to advertise that the cel is for sale.

I can't say I check the shop items everyday but I do occaisionally since from experience I have found cels of interest.

I do check there once in awhile and look at the items for sale on the main page.

I have bought one cel through the RS shop.

I do think sometimes items get forgotten or are still listed even though they have been sold.

I think it's a good starting point, but probably not if you are in a hurry for cash.

I have bought a few cels from the RS shop but I have never sold through it.
+'s no fees , - 's less traffic

I've sold a few cels through RS recently and have made a purchase or two as well. I think it just having cels posted in the shop attracts attention to my gallery because I've also had recent inquiries/offers on cels not listed in the RS shop.

I've bought a couple of cels from there and sold a couple of cels from there. It works great for me!

My two cels were up less than a month before they were sold.

You can always try it for a while. If it doesn't work for you, take them down and then list them on ebay. You could probably also make an announcement here that you're listing some there.

i bought my miyuki and cheshire cat cel from the rs shop.

depending on what your selling it could sell quickly or sit there for a while.
