Watchers! I need your opinion!
12 years ago
General
Please give me your opinions!I'm thinking of selling my bead art pieces, starting with the one I'm currently working on.
What would you prefer to see?? A flat price, if so how much? Or an auction(what should the starting price be, and the autobuy)?
The current piece is terracentric, roman symbol piece. So the Roman symbol for Earth in the center surrounded by the other planets, sun and moon. All are represented with Roman symbols.
It's as big as a piece of printer paper, and I'm willing to mat it (they are too much fun to touch to frame in my opinion!)if they buyer chooses for a little extra. Examples of my work

Personally I'd set a rather high price as flat. Maybe 75-90? Maybe more o.o? That must take a lot of time and effort o.o

I've been working on this one for about a week, mainly because I have been busy with other projects.

but do you think that price is a little too much? For a realistic buyer I mean?

Well I mean it might be a little high for someone like myself. But take into consideration it takes a lot of your time. I would go lowest maybe 60? So you are at least compensated for your time maybe?

Alright!! Will you do me a favor and share this out? I'll add links to other pieces of my work so others can get an idea. I just want a large opinion.

The hourly rate thing is a good idea as well. Just as long as you are comfortable with the price and stuff ^^

I'm really not good with pricing, but an idea a friend of mine gave me was to pick some hourly pay that sounds decent to you and then multiply that by how long each piece takes to do, and add in how much the supplies cost. That could work as a starting price, for example, and you could then tweak it depending on the size and difficulty or each piece.

I think auction would be better, simply because it might gain more interest and price could then vary from item to item. Also wouldn't do anything much with them, so the person buying could do what they wish with them once they get them. They look really awesome though!

Thank you Sweet! How much do you think I should start the pricing at, and what should I AB?

I honestly don't know. Like someone else said a fair bit of work has gone into making them so starting price kind of has to be the lowest you would consider or there about. I do think you should have a fixed amount to up the bid, like 5-10$ increments. Again, hard to say. Doesn't some require more work then others, nothing says you can't have different prices for different items - which also will give you an idea which sells better. First time around it might have to be a trial and error kind of thing? Sorry to not be of more help.
