Lucky2 Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Todd, that's about what I'd charge for them, if they don't sell at that price you can always lower it. It's hard to raise the price, after showing the item already priced. But, it's easy to lower the price, and people then think they are getting a deal.

A professional man at church helped me decide on prices that sell.He said folks like to buy things with on bill.$1-$5-$10-$20 Keeping that in mind can help you decide how to move your stock.

wombatie Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Looks great. It's hard to know what Mr Average will pay for things but like Len aid it's easier to come down than it is to go up in price. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Iggy Iguanodon would be the one to ask. He is selling a lot of dog woodimals lately. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Todd that came out great. To the right group that would not be too expensive, especially with a good finish on it. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Knappen Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 Markets are different. Here in Dayton, maybe $15. Go to Chattanooga and maybe $25. Some very large market $40. Know your market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ike Posted August 1, 2016 Report Share Posted August 1, 2016 In my area you have to keep your prices under $35 on the more difficult pieces and UNDER $20 ON MOST EVERY THING ELSE HAVRE CUT SOME BUT NEVER PRICED THEM THEY WILL BE UNDER $20.

trackman Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 I make mine out of oak & charge $20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguanadon Posted August 2, 2016 Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Nice work Todd. See my facebook page link below, I do animal puzzles and sell them at a local farmers market. I charge $25 and $5 of that goes to a dog rescue that my wife and I are members of, so in essence, I sell for $20. Mine are made from Poplar with a butcher block oil finish. There is a woman on Etsy that sells them and only charges $12.49. She uses plywood, just like you do. I'm happy to answer any other questions you may have.

GPscroller Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Funny story. Last May the wife said she wanted 30 puzzles and would not tell me what for. So being good husband and crazy scrollsawer ended up with around 45. I work at local landfill and salvaged most of the wood from old furniture (mainly laminated maple). She gave puzzles away to guests at MY surprise 60th birthday and they were thrilled. I normally sell them for 15 to 25 dollars each, so not too thrilled with sudden reduction in inventory but everybody sure liked their gifts hahaha.

ike Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) I made some and I am taking them to a show Sunday. i went on the internet and found them priced @ $7/50 to $19.95 So i will ask $15.00. I could sell for $10.00 and make out OK @ $10 I would be making $12 per hour.I don't think that is too bad for a hobby., I make mine out of pineand I like the oil finish.
