Vintage Items Going Up For Sale Soon

Spent most of last night and all day today photographing items my aunt wants to sell. Planning to list some things on Etsy and some on eBay. Figure I would just use my own accounts to make things easier. A lot of the stuff is retro or vintage, and some holiday themed items. Some of them are larger glass pieces, a platter for instance. I know the stuff would sell well, it's just a matter of shipping for some of it might run close to the asking price, which is frustrating.
Otherwise the thought was to just have a yard sale, which is fine because there is some clothing and general items not worth listing online. Which might help for some of the larger glass items, but yard sales are so iffy because people generally seem to expect prices to be very low. So the question is, this time of year, is it even worth doing so after Black Friday? Do some holiday shoppers still try to find good deals at yard sales? Or is it more likely most people have finished their holiday shopping?  Here in Louisiana, we're still in the 60s and 70s, so it's fairly perfect weather for outdoor activities.
I'll be making a list and another post about it before I list them online, for anyone interested in getting first dibs at them for yourself or anyone you know who likes vintage things.
