How do you all handle large orders as far as bidding of the job etc? I had someone contact me through my etsy store wanting 6-8 dozen 3-4 piece stand-up puzzles like the giraffe ones I have and other shapes like tree, dogs, cats, star, moon, etc etc.. He wants no finish on them just sanded. He claims to make bird houses and sells at farmers markets and would like to ad the puzzles to his table..
Most all my puzzles I have I made from scraps that normally would have been tossed..So I have no idea as for how much wood I would be needing for this if I was to get the order.. I am thinking the fellow thinks maybe he would get a discount for a larger order but I still make these one by one whether he orders one or 5000, LOL..I am thinking $4-5 ea.
I am not sure how to handle this..Wouldn't mind the work but on the other hand I am not too crazy on making the stand-up puzzles..6-8 dozen is a lot of puzzles ( for me anyway, LOL)
Any suggestions? Short of being paid at least half in advance, LOL That would be a lot of puzzles for me to have if he was to stiff me on the deal, LOL
