Default Re: Pricing guidlines?

Kathy,
I really appreciate your honesty, not that other responders were not! The first year I went to the Topeka Show several felt my prices were to low. So I raised them and ,you may be right,I didn't sell as much. This year I may moderate my prices some. I used Joe Dillet's pricing scheme and I did find out one thing.........

I'm not a Joe Dillet !

Though i'm new to the selling aspect of wood carving, i think your under selling your self. I go to alot of craft shows here in central ohio and i've seen lesser quality carvings than yours sell for much higher prices and they fly off the shelves.

I was told one time "better to price too high and come down than to price too low and come up", just makes good sense to me.

Any way, great work.

I have also heard this and agree price up and if your not selling go down but sometimes it's the people who come to the shows. And nice work i especially like the firecrackers and the castle section because i've never seen anything like that before.
