Sylvie replied to Brass Botanical's discussion I See So Many Amazing Items Here..."Linda, there are so many variables involved and the type of items being made to consider.
Too low to me is when the maker is not making a profit or worse, losing money on sales. But that is a judgement call on my part. The maker…"
Sylvie replied to Brass Botanical's discussion I See So Many Amazing Items Here..."People who buy handmade are usually looking for something special, unique, one of a kind. Something that moves them in a way. They fall in love with the item, not the price, to quote an artisan more eloquently spoken than me. So…"
Sylvie replied to Brass Botanical's discussion I See So Many Amazing Items Here..."That is a completely different issue. Overpricing to the point your items never sell. I think the OP is talking about items that are priced so low, it's impossible they are making any kind of profit and are in fact, probably losing…"

Sylvie replied to Brass Botanical's discussion I See So Many Amazing Items Here..."I'm sure there are flaws in my thinking and can be pointed out. But I think in general it makes sense. It all comes down to your market. You can't sell a $250 vest to someone who is in college struggling to pay their…"
Sylvie replied to Brass Botanical's discussion I See So Many Amazing Items Here..."Rather than lower the cost of your higher end sparklers, why not create a new line of lower priced items. That's what I like to do. And it's just good to have a variety of items and prices anyway."
Sylvie replied to Brass Botanical's discussion I See So Many Amazing Items Here..."Many sellers define themselves as hobbyists. Many hobbyists state that they just want to recoup the cost of their materials. If they don't want to pay themselves for their time, that's fine. Even if they don't want…"
