Leather Pricing

[TomG]

I am downsizing and need to figure out how to price of the the leather that I'll be selling. Some side, I've had for years. While still perfectly usable, in some cases I don't even recall exactly what they sides are <lol>. But, I'll figure that one out.
My main need now, is to figure out how much to ask for various partial sides of Latigo. Most are in the 10 ounce range and the belly edge, of course.
So any suggestions on how to do it and be fair?

A couple of ways to go about it...

Try to recall what you paid and price it at that point; knowing you probably paid less at full retail when you bought it than what it's currently selling for.

Look up current pricing from vendors that carry the same, and drop the price by some percentage.  Percentage depends on how quickly you'd like to move it, whether you add in shipping, packaging, etc.

Assuming they're not all full sides, the simplest way to go would be to price per ft or per metre having discounted from the current price.

Not sure if you're selling just the bellies but I got an email from Wickett & Craig for bellies at $5-$9

Folks like myself . . . you would almost have to give it away . . . as I can easily go pick up my stuff . . . basically no cost because I'm there for multiple reasons.

The shipping will be your bullet in the foot . . . except for those who have to have every thing shipped to them.  Price accordingly to sell to whichever market you want to.

May God bless,

Oh yeah. I buy my leather by the side and shipping is always in the $20-$25 range. That's just from KY to GA, LOL. My main plan is to put the stuff on Nextdoor first, so I can have them just do a porch pickup.

I'm sure most were in the $200 range. I was thinking about $10-$15 depending on the width. All at Latigo and in the 10-12oz range.
I mainly make 6' + leashes out of them, so when they get down to less than the lengths I need to make say, a 5 footer, they are not really usable for me.
