I have a question?
Can someone give me idea on how to price these boxes I am altering. I am setting up at a flea market next weekend. I want to try to sell some because I can't keep them all.
First off, Susan...they are incredibly beautiful. I would suggest pricing them for their content...by that I mean your cost of what you used...then, add the hours it takes [go over minimum wage of course, 'cause there is a lot of artistic nature in the product you're selling] and then the finished product...always add on an extra $10. Hand made is always worth more these days.
I've just spent some time looking at your pretty boxes...they are beautiful. I wouldn't have a single clue as to how much to ask for them. I know you won't have any trouble selling them. Have fun and....oh, I just read A La Carte's comment, which is an excellent tip. Try looking at Ebay and I'll bet you can get a good idea. xoxo bj
Susan your treasures are fabulous. Great finds & bargains. Love the red box. Now those pictures are exquisite, I'd have snapped them up, also. Lucky you, my friend.
Have you looked on Etsy for something comparable? Or figure out a price based on cost plus your time plus a profit? Good Luck.
