Title: New Rascals Plaques!
Post by: GrayBeard on September 02, 2011, 12:06:16 am
Took 5 to the game tonight, gave one as a present to a fellow fan and he showed it around.
Before the game even started i had sold the other 4 at $20 each and have orders for 6 more!
Pretty nice considering I cut 6 at a time in the stack!
Shows you just have to find your MARKET...
There are two still in the team store that have been on the shelf for 4 weeks...
The real fans don't go in the store!

One of the orders is from the team owner and we discussed the situation and he wants me to come up with some stuff over the winter for next season...

I know, Dan....however when you have fans that are only paying $6.00 to $8.00 a ticket it is hard to try and get more than $20...

All frames and backers are 'recycled' materials. so my only major expense is the plywood and blades and cutting stacks of 6 makes it almost profitable.

But I am not looking for another career...just hoping that the exposure will lead to special orders.
THEN I can get what the job is really worth.

If they were in the Cardinals gift shop they would be marked $100!!!

Good one GB you have made a killing and have charged what you think is a fair price, you are happy the punters are happy and that is all that counts
