Title: advise for pricing amazing grace cross
Post by: Marcellarius on May 17, 2011, 01:37:38 pm

HELP,.....
someone saw a amazing grace cross that I've made and he want to buy it. (see pictures)
I normally don't sell my work so I wander what is a reasonable price for something like this.
their made of birch plywood with clear lacker finish. (one had tung oil before the lacker)

what is a good price?

GREAT JOB ON THE CROSS.

TELL THE PERSON 500.00 BUT YOU MIGHT COME DOWN A LITTLE  LOL AND SEE THE REACTION

Hi Marcel,
I sold some stuff last Sunday after church. Had a couple of simple crosses go between 5 and 10 euro a piece, no one complained, somebody actually said my prices where to cheap. So I would think between 12,50 and 15 euro would not be to much, depending on the size of your crosses you might want to increase or decrease the price at discretion(yours that is).  Hope this helps you a bit.
David

Hey Marcel, I don't know what the exchange rate is between euros and dollars is, but I would charge between 20 to 30 American dollars. If they where made from hardwoods, 30 to 40 dollars.

I agree with DG...$20.00 for plywood higher for hardwoods.

OK, thanks for the input.
The guy offerd to pay $35 (?25) but I thought that was to much to ask.
so looking at your suggestion I guess that $21 (?15) should be a good price.

I have sold that cross for $25.00 to $50.00 depending on the wood and the location.  $35.00 should be a reasonable price for that cross.

You might think I'am nuts but I sold mine for $16.00Stacked 2- 1/4" oak  together, one was left over from another project, cost me less then $4.00 to make.  Made $32.oo for both. Just my opinion.  Edward
