Having read and taken on board all of the sound advice that has been given I see now that the price of a pen is really down to what you can get for it. When I sell a pen or any other turned item I always ask myself "Would I pay that for it" and 9 times out of 10 I would say no but I am a bit of a tight arse.

I tend to feel guilty about asking for what I think is too much but I think I need to learn that the customer can always say no.

Next time I sell some of my work I am going to think about all of the comments that you have made and set a price which is fair to both.

[QUOTE="Vic Perrin, post: 81649, member: 422"] Having read and taken on board all of the sound advice that has been given I see now that the price of a pen is really down to what you can get for it.
