Lil Birdie Homes.... :+}
« on: October 21, 2013, 06:39:42 pm »
Hey All....  November is my Only Show.  Have lots of Inventory, but just wanted to say n show this Display and Of Course I just LOVE Comments....  :+}

A Lady Friend from Church has 2 small consignment businesses and I sent her pics. of my crafts for her opinion on Pricing.  Well I was Disappointed some what.  Said these Compound cutting of the Bird Houses she would only Price at $3.00 each.  I had thoughts of $5.00 or even Higher.
Guess I see at the Craft Show.  Economy at present Just Might Be A Problem.  Yes? 

Anyway just wanted to pass on this Info....   Thanks for Looking..................Danny  :+}

The more it looks like a deal the better they will sell.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

They all look very nice Danny. They should be worth at least $5.00 each. You shouldn't have to work to just pay for the material.

Hey Danny i made a few of them myself but up this way the$5.00 price was to high.i asked around and the people i asked they said $2,50 each.so your $3.00 price is not bad i guess i do know i won't be cutting any more for sell.i thought they were well worth $5.00. thats my 2 cents worth

One thing I have learnt Danny is that you can always put your prices down but you can never put them up especially in the middle of a craft show.  Great work there Danny hope you have a great craft show.

Those look great. I price mine at $5.00. I would like to get more but with today's economy it's hard to sell anything for what it is worth.

Danny, try GB's suggestion od $5 each or 3 for $12. If they don't sell by the middle of the show, drop the price a little and put up a "Sale" sign.

Want to Thank All for your Input.  Live n Learn I Guess.  Long story short cutting a Compound pattern at first was not as easy as cutting other patterns, but when I got used to the Slow cutting and waiting for the lil object to come out of the middle made each kind of exciting.
Well I have showed some to family and friends and All are amazed that I could cut them to look pretty much like a Bird House.  Even the little bird.  Anyway I have started getting the feeling that I will take Al's suggestion of $4.00 and also GB's with 3 for $10.  Tks again....Danny  :+}

Laser cut might be worth $3 but I think you should be making the point that they are handmade and each one is unique and so worth 3 times a laser cut one. :)
