What Is Esty For?

Would someone out there in LJ Land explain to me how Esty works. I'm selling off most of my collectible glass, my wedding dress and a bunch of other stuff. I was going to just EBay it. I was complaining about how cheap people were on EBay and someone suggested I sell my stuff on Esty instead.

I thought Esty was for crafty stuff that you make yourself. Are there any other venues where I might be able to sell stuff.


Finally I have booze that I'm looking to give away. Most of the bottles have been opened but I'm not going finish it, I'm not taking it with me and I would hate to just dump it out. I figure giving it free to a good home is best. Keep watch this space for the list.
