Scrappile Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) My first sell without even trying. I made this Second Amendment Plaque that several people here have done. Mine is not complete, I'm waiting for the finish to dry so I can assemble it. I also extended the backer board on the outside edges of each section about 1/4" and rounded the edges over. Does not show in the picture much, but it does look nice that way. Sent a picture to my son. Today he called and asked what I would want for one. We discussed it and I ended up telling him at least $100. He agreed and said he would call back. Few minutes he called back, says sold two for $125 ea + shipping. He didn't think $100 was enough and this guy can afford it. Going to a guy in New York for himself and his son. Now I have to get to work. Oh, ya, paid in advance. Also today my Nephew called and wanted to know if I could make a John Wayne picture. His boss said she would pay for one. I really don't want to get too obligated in selling because this is a hobby for me and just fun. However, this kind of sells help buy wood and supplies....

meflick Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Beautiful work. Nothing wrong with selling enough to pay for more wood and tools. I agree with your son. $100 definitely not enough. Not sure $125 is though either -but then that's from me who runs afraid of all those words! Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
