Title: Pricing an item
Post by: Woodchuck on December 31, 2013, 12:20:34 pm

Mike has made available plans for a headphone stand. Does anyone have an idea of about how much to charge for the stand? It appears to be an item that should sell well.

I saw that on the home page as well but I thought Steve designed it? Anyway, I would think $20-$25 bucks isn't an outrageous price and would probably sell for that. Adding a personalized name to the base could maybe fetch another 10 bucks. I actually really like the design. I'll probably build one for the heck of it but maybe change the word 'Music' to "Music is what feelings sound like" or some other music quote.

Sorry, my mistake I meant to type Steve not Mike. Plan to make a couple today to see how they work out. Great idea on customizing the name. One person
that is is interested is a gamer, perhaps you could put in name of their favorite video game. Thanks for the idea on modification.

Just cut a piece for grandson's vocal instructor.  In addition to a singer with mic I used the words "Music - Food For The Soul".  No copyright on the words so maybe you like them or they will trip your trigger for something else.

Made one. The notch in the base was a little too wide, so as you see 2nd picture I glued a block over the back. It also helps to reinforce the joint and cover the hole.

Looks good. I like to work in oak.
