Please help me with pricing :)

I have a problem with pricing in general. I have tried to compare my items with others on Etsy, but there is a HUGE price range. I would like to be fair to my customers and myself. Any help I receive will be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time! -H

Re: Please help me with pricing :)

Ok here's one thing:

This one
http://www.etsy.com/listing/99916748/hand-made-fused-glass-purple-flower?ref=v1_other_1
and this one
http://www.etsy.com/listing/99916316/hand-made-fused-glass-pink-flower?ref=v1_other_2

I don't understand why the price points on these two items are so dramatic. Is the white glass more expensive to purchase? To work with? etc
Looks like you just throw a number out there and hope someone will buy it---because even if the white glass did cost more----it could not possibly be $15 more per little pendant.

Also, 'wrapped' is spelled incorrectly in the title.

and I would lose 'handmade' as the first item in your title----we assume they are handmade already---not need to waste searching space in the title for that. I'd start it more with "Glass Pendant-Fused Flower -Purple-silver plated chain

I would not mention the wire in the title either...gives me no relevant information.

I see you use the word 'hand made' as the first words in a lot of your listings----i would suggest dropping those words also.

Thank you that makes sense. The price change refers to size and quality of the image. Do you believe my prices are off in general? Do you think I should rely on the image to show that I grind a pocket around the edge for the wire wrapped part?

AHA. I had NO IDEA that the wire went around the entire pendant until you just described that!

I think you should DESCRIBE that detail in your DESCRIPTION!! Obviously in more detail than this posting ;-) The term wire wrapped makes me think of only at the top connection to the pendant!

Describe why you grind around the edge and wire wrap it (for strength, beauty etc.) Because it is certainly far more desirable now that i know that!

For the price change---I believe the difference $15 is a bit steep for these two seemingly identical pieces---other than one is white glass and one is clear glass. If the clear glass one has imperfections (like the air bubbles?)...that's one thing....but they both are about the same size and look very much similar to me.?
