My wife took her candy dish (http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=91809) to work last week and managed to show it to quite a few folks (good for her!) before getting it filled with candy and placed on her desk. She has a couple of guys who work in her building want to either order a like item or buy the candy dish that she has, which she refuses to do even though I told her she could keep whatever she sold it for. So, having done NO shows or any sales type events – I am asking what would be a fair and realistic price for a similar turning? I know the basic drill of: it all depends on what the market will bear and what similar items go for in your area… (I’ve never seen anything like this here or anywhere) but, what would be a reasonable bottom end price?
I have no desire to gouge anyone but I also don’t want to just give it away. I look at this as another way to get my turnings out into the public and hopefully start to build a local reputation.
Appreciate any and all advice!
