Some Stuff
« on: September 19, 2010, 08:26:59 pm »
These are some things I have been working on for my craft show coming up in Nov. The patterns are from Sheila Landry. Any suggestions on prices would be a big help, as I usually just make boxes and thought I would try some different things this year.

Very nice Mark. Price is always a tough thing for others to judge. but if they where mine I think I would charge about ten to twelve bucks each.

I agree with Dan about pricing. Ten dollars sounds about right.  8)

Those are very nice Mark.  Big question is what type of show is it jurried or not .. generally jurried you can command a slightly larger price.  I would not go much over $12 though.

I don't sell myself so I find it difficult to compare, but I'm with Russ.
$ 10 should be right

I agree with the majority, nice work and about $10.00 would work around here.

Thanks for all the input. I was guessing around $8.00 to $10.00. The craft show is in Nov. I'll let you know how I do. Thanks again.

Janet, A juried show is a show that you have to be approved as a vendor by a panel of "judges".  It insures that the merchandise is up to their standards and that there are not a multitude of the same type of merchandise.  You generally have to submit a sampling of your work, at the very least, pictures.  If you are approved as a vendor - the booth rental is generally much higher than your average festival.  I have been approved for a couple of them, but could not justify the rental fee.
