I have followed Adam's post with interest and with a show coming up in August I thought I would try and put a price on my work.
I have also followed the other posts about presentation and labelling and keeping records of what I make.
I am surprised at what I have found.
I have made up a Spreadsheet for all these different things needed, labels, boxes, etc.
A Slimline Pen & Pencil Set will cost me £14.76 to put on the table for sale.
An Omega Fountain Pen & Rollerball Pen Set will cost £23 to put on the table for sale.
The Slimline is in a cheap looking clear plastic box and I was thinking of asking £25.
The Omega is a closed end set and presented in a Black Velvet box and was going to ask £40.
Are these reasonable expectations ?

[QUOTE="donwatson, post: 183607, member: 503"] I have followed Adam's post with interest and with a show coming up in August I thought I would try and put a price on my work. I have also followed the other posts about presentation and labelling and keeping records of what I make. I am surprised at what I have found. I have made up a Spreadsheet for all these different things needed, labels, boxes, etc. A Slimline Pen & Pencil Set will cost me £14.76 to put on the table for sale. An Omega Fountain Pen & Rollerball Pen Set will cost £23 to put on the table for sale. The Slimline is in a cheap looking clear plastic box and I was thinking of asking £25. The Omega is a closed end set and presented in a Black Velvet box and was going to ask £40. Are these reasonable expectations ? :thinks: [/QUOTE]
