Prices

What do you guys think of my prices? I feel like they are a little high, but lower seems too low.

They seem reasonable, and it looks like you're getting sales. But you don't seem to have a heuristic to base them on. For example, you sell this one:

for the same price as this one:

even though the first one seems more work... It's nice to have some rule of thumb like $.50 per string or something like that :).

well the first, it's a little less in quality because it's one of my older ones, and it's not made to order like the most of my items. 14-18 strings is usually $10-12. The first one is 18, but because of the quality i bumped it down. I'll think about a $ per string type of a thing though.

I agree with Tessa (LittleWolfs), price your items with more consistency based on strands used and such. Always think about how long it takes you to make a bracelet, time your self don't guess. Then think about minimum wage for a starting point and cost of supplies, now you have your selling price. So many fiber artist are selling their work for next to nothing, why have a shop? Best of Luck, you have a beautiful shop!! :)

Thank you! What do you think is a good price per string?
