Hi Dunk,
I get 7.50 for them in euro's a quick look at the rates would make that about 10 dollars a piece. Some people even said that they would pay more.

David,  Up your price.  That takes a sizable chunk of lumber.  I've made two and made a drawstring bag to put the pieces in.  $25.00

Thanks Julie,
The drawstring bag is a great idea, will ask my mom if see feels like making me some. I need to learn to saw, maybe I will try it myself.

Thank you both for your input.  I know a gal who makes em in Florida and get $50.00 a piece for them that is why i always ask in your neck of the woods...It is amazing what an identical (well nearly identical) item will sell for in different areas.

Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

about the drawstring bag, maybe the have cheap one's used for marbles.

I look than in a shop called action.  http://www.action.nl/
sometimes they have other stuff in those bag's.
in example:

the mini markers in bag are $ 1,40
the mini wallet 3"x4" for $ 1,--
the paper giftbox $ 0,42 (this one is christmas, but they have many others)

raise the price with the amount it cost and you have the markers for free  ;)

I thought of that this afternoon when I came from the physio, Action is just one street futher, but I was getting soaked as it was raining hard and my rain cloth were at home, so wanted to get home, will check there next week, I get all my spray paint, brushes etc from them.
Thanks Marcel.
