What Would You Pay for.... This?

[roo4u]

i got one for you...we were vending leashes at a dog show one time and a lady that bought her leashes from us was selling at the same show like 4 booths down from us. we kept our prices low cuz we made the stuff ourselves and therefore didnt think we had to mark up too high. some folks bought a leash from the other booth at twice the price of ours. then they came by our booth and looked around, looked at our leashes and said well the one we got is better. all came from the same dang hide. now if i was going to vend at shows id price my stuff slightly higher than others cuz im a trained professional(lol)

That same thing happened to us at Dollhouse Shows too.

There were a couple of dealers that Mom sold some of her crochet work to for them to resell.

since they had to "mark it up some" (they paid Mom's prices not a discounted one)

somehow those were "better" ????

I have a friend who plays the tuba in the air force band and he wanted me to make him a tuba strap. I got it finished and gave it to my friend. He loved it!He had asked for cartoon characters on it, which I was able to do and they turned out pretty decent. Sorry I dont have a pict of it. I did get picts with my new phone but don't have a usb cord to transfer them to my computer yet. Anyway, my friend wants to pay me for the strap and I am at a loss as to what to tell him. It was a major learning experience for me so it did take a lot of time but I have no idea of the going rate for such a thing. Thanks for any thoughts you all might have

That one is plain inside - you never know what a young boy would put in it! But I have one I'd made for myself, and it is lined with fabric.

These boxes measure about 10"x5", and about 4" deep. He also makes some lovely square ones. I appreciate the quality of his workmanship. This box cost me 35.00+shipping.

Here are others I've done with his boxes. Some of the pics were with my old camera and are not really clear. The last set was a custom box Dale and I worked out for a customer's flutes. It was lined with velvet and padded. One other is also velvet lined, and has a commemorative "plaque" inside (it was to be an anniversary gift)

HI Wild Rose

I am Brand New here so take this for what you want. But I would Pay $100 or a little over.

The whistle box I would pay up to $200 for sure. I think the best part of the whole thing is your leather work, the box/wood needs a little more

something? The wood looks cheap it needs more sanding, rouder the edges and better stain. for the wood worker it would be pennys more but for your

box sales its 100s . With the inprovements to the wood box I would pay 150- 200 each and if it had a custome name even more.

But what do I know I am just a consumer as of now.
