Dagaz Report post Posted June 27, 2012 Okay, So I'm going to be doing my first festival soon and I have made a bunch of celtic themed items for this local scottish festival. However, I'm never quite sure what to charge. not a lot of it is custom carved at the moment because I wanted to make a lot of items, and then work on custom pieces while at the festival to show off my skill to people who come by. now the question is, if I post some pictures here would you friendly people be willing to give me advice on a price range for my items? I have stamped notebook covers in a simplified format, I have tankard straps, belts, bracers, and will be possibly making a few sporrans. Most of what I have at the moment is all veg tanned leather, but I will be making some latigo items as well. Cheers, and I hope you guys can help me.

WanderingStar Report post Posted June 27, 2012 okay, here are the pictures, I don't know how I got signed in under another name before. LOL ;P Again, these are all in veg tan leather but I will be making more of each in latigo. They are not completely finished, the veg tanned bracers will be custom carved while the latigo bracers will be plain here are a few more. I will also be making barrettes, and key fobs, and small items like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wareagle Report post Posted June 27, 2012 the "rule of thumb" I use when unsure of how to price a product is cost X 3 = retail. cost x 2 = wholesale. cost breaks down to: cost of materials + cost of labor + 20% overhead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
