Step 1
Finding tumble weeds isn't going to be hard in your area. I find my tumble weeds along the fence at the end of the runway at Los Angeles Airport. So all you need to do is just start looking and a pair of gloves (those are prickly to carry.)
-
Step 2
Once you have your tumbleweeds, get on EBay to ready your product. Now you may be wondering, so who buys tumbleweeds? Movie producers, theater stage managers and others in the entertainment industry who want a Western theme. This strange item is a good seller.
-
Step 3
Next up is writing your ad. This needs to be straight forward and simple. Make sure you note the exact size of the tumbleweed. No fluff is needed as your buyer will see the actual picture. Also, make sure you let them know exactly how much it costs to send them as you will need to buy big boxes.
-
Step 4
Next up is the picture. This needs to be a tight shot of the tumbleweed to show your buyer the actual condition and size (I use a ruler.) I always shoot several shots to give people an idea.
-
Step 5
Finally after you have the ad written and photo loaded, you need to step back and wait to see what your item will net you!
