💥The differences are subtle, but they matter 💥

Taking time to clean up items, especially expensive items, can mean the difference between a view and a SALE 💰. I bought this bag for $3. It was a bit dirty and the leather was dried out. I took about 20 minutes to wash it, use leather cleaner, and condition it. The difference isn’t shocking, but here’s why I do it.
✅ Clean and reconditioned items photograph better, period. If your listing pictures are better than the next guys, even if your price is higher, a lot of times you will still get the sale.
✅Adding into the description that something has been cleaned shows the seller you’ve put some work into and take a little bit of pride in the item and your business.
✅ Cleaning can eliminate light smells for things that have been sitting or came out of less than desirable conditions.
✅It keeps your photography area nice. There’s nothing worse than taking the time to wipe down your photography surfaces every other item. Time is money.
