I only bought one piece, but I'm going to have to go back for more. And thanks for the input. I'm trying to be realistic on the pricing and finding it difficult.<BR/><BR/>Bo: these first ones are going to be in a small, local artisan gallery. Which might be one reason why I'm having difficulty on this whole pricing thing. I know that it will mostly be "regular" (aka financially challenge) people, like me going into the store. ::sigh:: "See" ya soon. :)<BR/><BR/>Meno: Oddly enough, we have the same problem. My husband is happy, though, because our old fridge was completely <I>covered</I> with stuff! Thanks for the input. :)<BR/><BR/>Lena: I so love that paper. And that's a good idea - to offer some that are just beautiful paper...hmm... Thanks :)<BR/><BR/>Mama P: Ok. OK. sheesh. ::cue Teri sheepishly laughing::<BR/><BR/>Jude: I had been thinking about offering personalization - it appeals to me more and more. Pricing is definitely an area where I'm having issues. Between you, me and Teh Interweb, the prices that some of the people expect to get on the items in the gallery here make me cringe. I'm planning on doing some deep Etsy recon this weekend to get a more accurate picture.<BR/><BR/>Jen: Ooo, you know how I hate negotiating. It's why I won't have yard sale. lol ;)<BR/><BR/>Katherine: We have that problem, too! Thank You cards are a good idea. I've been thinking about making some sets, and that would be a good place to start. <BR/>Hmmm... maybe I should be gone longer just to see what you come up with comment-wise. lolTeri M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11414002467075975778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24511256.post-1158843358705413532006-09-21T05:55:00.000-07:002006-09-21T05:55:00.000-07:00BTW, I think I'll just stop by every day to leave ...BTW, I think I'll just stop by every day to leave you a comment telling you to hurry up with the organizing of the crap!Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639484182297151342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24511256.post-1158797141705220142006-09-20T17:05:00.000-07:002006-09-20T17:05:00.000-07:00If I had a frig that the magnets would actually st...If I had a frig that the magnets would actually stick to (who knew magnets don't stick to stainless steel???)

And yours, they are works of art which will be enjoyed far more than those mass-produced things that are cluttering many of our refrigerators.<BR/><BR/>I like what Mama P has to say regarding asking for what you want and then maybe be flexible if someone wants to negotiate a different price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24511256.post-1158769125999360662006-09-20T09:18:00.000-07:002006-09-20T09:18:00.000-07:00I agree with mama p...don't under-price your work,...I agree with mama p...don't under-price your work, Teri. Especially if you offer customized items.<BR/><BR/>I'd suggest you estimate the cost of raw materials and development time for each item, then do a little market research...take a look at what similar or comparative items are going for in fairly upscale shops, and price yours accordingly.<BR/><BR/>Biggest mistake newbies to the art market can do is to under-value their work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24511256.post-1158725405378731222006-09-19T21:10:00.000-07:002006-09-19T21:10:00.000-07:00And irony of all irony, as I posted that last diat...And irony of all irony, as I posted that last diatribe, it turns out that the middle part of the code word was D U H.

Are you nuts? 2 bucks? If you sell them that cheap, people will think there's something wrong with them. 5.00 at least, or 2 for 8. If they want personalized, then 9.00 each with a one week turn around, free shipping. I am going to reiterate a quote from my blog, and I'm also emailing it to you in case NOW is the time you choose to go off line (good for you, but not good for your magnet empire). "You know what you get in this life? I'm a real big believer about this: what you get in this life, at the most, is what you ask for. Think about it: you've got a car for sale and you say, 'I'm putting this car on the market for ten thousand dollars. The most you're gonna get is ten thousand dollars. Do you think somebody's gonna drive by and go, 'tell you what, I think that's a really nice car. I think I'll give you twelve?' If you ask for nothing, you get nothing."Andrea Frazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293267612840259503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24511256.post-1158712471407153182006-09-19T17:34:00.000-07:002006-09-19T17:34:00.000-07:00Honestly?
