What to charge?

[oily]

Have a show in early Dec. I'm concentrating on Santas. snow flakes ans snow men for small hanging ornaments. All will be in the 3-4" range. I won't start on the unpainted ones until I'm short on time. I plan on using a small artificial tree for a display.
I don't have these clear coated yet. I've been charging $4ea or 3 for $11.
What would you folks charge for ornaments like these.
Most will be 1/8" BB

I think because they are hand painted I'd try for $8.00 each or 2/$15.00.
Nicely done btw!

I was thinking along those lines myself. Seemed like alot of work for four bucks.

Rob they are very nice items and I think I'd go higher than Mike - doesn't mean I'd get it though.

There was a lively thread on here a little while back and I think it was one of the Jim's who said - I para phrase badly here but - I'd rather sell ten at $12 than three at $40.

I can see his point and I can also see everyone else's point about materials + labour + profit.

I know I've been no help at all, very nice all the same.

It is alot of work for 4.00 but it also depends on what part of the country you are in.
I think where I'm at things have to be low priced to sell.
However, I also paint so I know what kind of work/time you've put into them.
I might try 5.00 each or 3 for 12.00.
And that one that you had to fit together in pieces....I might have to put a bit of a different price on that one.

BTW....is your deisgn woodburned on first then painted?

Catlyn, I don't do any burning. Everything is scrolled.
Hope I find the spot that clears the table.

My first thought was $8 for most of them, and $10 for the guy on the sled....
don't undersell yourself.. Handcrafted is valuable stuff.....
