Hi, I've been scrolling since December of last year and really liked it, so I am going to do a craft show on Saturday. The only problem is that I'm totally clueless about pricing and I was wondering if someone would help. Below are a couple of my puzzles. Thanks in advance, John http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3606/...3f805ed952.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3414/...0e2f564aca.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3305/...7b83bd8f71.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3361/...fa7b24ffe5.jpg |

G'day John, The way I price my stand up puzzles is to pick one, decide what I would pay for it, ask the wife and daughter what they would pay for it. Then divide the amount we settle on by the number of pieces. This gives a rough price per puzzle. Eg: $10.00 5 pieces = $2.00 each 3 pc puzzle would be $6.00 8 pc puzzle would be $16.00 These are just rough estimates and I then adjust to what I think is reasonable.

$3.00 each 4 for $10.00 you have to give a deal in this economy

I kind of go along with justjimmyb on the prices. You do want them to sell, and the way the economy is, you have to make the customer realize they are getting them for a steal! When things get better, or if the first customer that sees them snatches them up, raise the price to $4 each, 4 for $15 , and see if theres still a market at that price, and keep adjusting accordingly until you find just the right price for your area. They look nicely done, with edges rounded over slightly and everything. est of luck at your show, be sure to let us know how it works out for you.

Another thing to think about, If you can't keep up with demand, you are selling to cheap.
