Just sold two ornaments!
« on: October 21, 2011, 08:10:29 am »
 ;D Just had a friend over and showed him my new Christmas ornaments, he asked what I thought of charging. Told him I was not sure yet it would be either 1,5 euro or 2 euro a piece. He looked and said I would like to buy these two for my wife and he paid me 2 euro a piece.

So Sheila's nice design is a hit here all ready. Need to get stocked up on wood and concentrate on making more of these I think.

Are you making any profit or just breaking even David?  8)

I am making some profit. I think about 50 euro cent so about a 75 of your cents.
GB thanks for putting the transfer rate up for us. Knew somebody would come up with this question Judy after I posted it. Bet others wanted to know, but did not dare ask.
Looking forward to making and selling more.

Way to go david...!!!!
It's always cool to sell something.
I also try to sell some of my work, and i don't have to make a lot of profit.
I just want the money back of the wood i used.
Any extra money is just nice to get.

Keep up the good work David try to make some (big) money, but most important... have fun!!!

Greetings Glenn, Belgium

Glenn, Selling is nice, but as you say it's the fun of doing it. Breaking even is more important than making big bucks.

Way to go Dave! I bet if he shows them to a few folks you will get an order or two.
