I have a pretty good idea of what the overhead might be. But the real question isn't of worth really, is it? No! It all boils down to what they will pay for it. <br /><br />I don't want to over-price it and have customers turn their nose up at me. If they pass me up in the beginning, I'll likely never gain them back. I don't want to be "that lady who is WAY over-priced", even after adjustments... And, likewise, I don't want to undersell myself either. <br /><br />So, this problem has kept me from selling at all. Sure, I have friends that say "I'll give you $10 for that" and "$20 for those", but that's it.<br /><br />I had an idea a while back about opening a blog, posting items, then having people suggest a price they would be willing to pay IF they were a customer.<br /><br />One way or another, I must begin to sell! I've invested WAY too much thus far for it to be a hobby. Also, I'm starting Jewelry design school soon.<br /><br />Thank you for your article. It is a topic that needs discussion!Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883740926014535739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596939687756120361.post-13412135094484488052010-03-22T18:36:05.261-07:002010-03-22T18:36:05.261-07:00All excerpts from the book are used for reference ...All excerpts from the book are used for reference and is Copyright 1994 by Kenn Oberrecht.Jennifer Vancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00438201793572736663noreply@blogger.com
