PRICING....advice needed....how do you set your prices?
Comments (4)I don't sell any garden junk/art items, but I've sold other stuff at flea mkt, antique fair, yard sales etc in the past. You've answered your own question, you don't want to go high end but you don't want to give it away, you just need to put a number on it. So, pick a peice and start. What price would be high end to you? What price would be giving it away? Meet in the middle. When I did flea mkt I would usually price just a little higher than I needed to get. You can always come down and it gives your customers room to dicker. But it sounds like a different situation at the co-op you probably won't be there talking to the customers yourself. So just be fair. Find a price thats fair to you and fair to the person who wants to buy something. So neither one of you feels ripped off. Go round and see howthe other dealers (the ones that are actually selling stuff) have their stuff priced. Take in mind what the average patron has to spend. . Jump in and put actual prices on everything you want to take. Walk away for a while, then go back and look at them like you're shopping and you're seeing them for the 1st time. If you wanted one of the peices would you feel comfortable with the price? Good luck with your venture. Let us know how things work out. Do you have pics of your creations?

Comments (26)I usually give gifts with the receipt in the box. Like someone else said, I don't want to waste my money giving a gift the receiver doesn't like or can't use. I want THEM to be happy so if I guessed wrong, let them get something they like. Natal: I loved your thought. We have a green pyrex mixing bowl we always use on holidays because it was my MIL's. It's like she's enjoying the holiday with us. Oh, and my DIL's mother just buys stuff at the outlet, then figures out who to give it to later. Mostly clothes, so size is optional.

Comments (3)I'm not going to be much help here, but I'll offer what I can in the way of opinion. On the spice cabinet issue, no that would not be acceptable to me. Even if it doesn't have autoclose (and I can't imagine why the size of the cabinet would affect that, but what do I know) it seems like it doesn't even roll smoothly. The whole operation seems rough (good thinking on making a video, by the way). I could live without auto-close if the operation was smooth. When I push my non auto-close drawers like you did in the video, the drawer slides close. It doesn't stop a few inches out like yours does. Something is off. On the counters, all I can offer is that we have a white (with some gray veining) quartz counter in our bathroom. We've never sealed it (or needed to despite daily coffee rings, etc.) and we've noticed no yellowing whatsoever, although it is only two years old. I have to say I've never personally seen a quartz counter suffering from the yellowing that some say is possible, so it's not something I'm going to worry about. I can't comment on the sealer issue....See MoreDo you ever argue with your cabinets? (A request for color help)
Comments (47)What is it about bunnies?! They're just too cute. : ) Rebunky, I've been doing image searches galore, and I did not see that image. Thank you for posting it! I do like the black hood in that image. And the island. : ) We have the drawers for the cabinet under the cooktop, but DH had them removed when I took the photo. He's got the Eastlake piece framed already. He would have probably hung the hood and cover yesterday, but our countertops came in Tuesday afternoon, so he spent the whole day yesterday on getting those ready to install instead! I should have a working sink and cooktop today-hooray!!!! I don't know what type of glass door is coming in for our corner cabinet. Isn't that crazy? The guy that ordered them for us hasn't had any come in in our line of cabinets yet, and they weren't pictured in the catalog. So, we all get to be surprised. : P I picked up some (more) paint cards at the home stores a few nights ago. I was going to get sample pots of paint at Lowes or Home Depot, but Ace Hardware has got theirs on sale for $.99 this week, so I'll get them there instead. I've got a few blacks I'm looking at, as well as a dark bluish green, and a golden cream that I'm considering for the hutch. I wish you the best with your backsplash! I don't think that's an easy decision. We looked through wall tiles on our shopping trip, and very few "spoke" to us. I would definitely need to take lots of breaks and think about other people's kitchens in the decision making process, too. LOL...See Morecynic
