frankorona Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hi all, I have a question: I've done some similar work in size and complexity as this: Big Cat N°2, Siberian Tiger I have them for sale with everything and frame at $ 190 dlls. Wonder if they are a good price, or should I sell them more cheap? Thanks in advance for your answer, it will greatly help. Greetings from Puebla, Mexico.

Wilson's Woodworking Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 They are worth what ever the market will bear. Some markets will sell high and some you almost have to give them away. It all depends on the area your selling them in. frankorona 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 My thoughts exactly. The work, skill and beauty make them worth the price. frankorona 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koehler788 Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 My thoughts on that would be the way you "SELL" your product. For example, I always market it as one of a kind and heirloom quality, I tell my customers that no two are the same and it is also a good conversation piece. Sometimes that works sometimes not. frankorona 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Buck a hole is good, just because this person didn't want to pay doesn't mean the next one won't. I found that things that don't sell I get tired of lugging around. Only to find out the person i gave it too knows exactly who to give it too or sell too. Everything sells it's just when. Why SETTLE FOR SECOND FIDDLE WHEN YOU HAVE ThE BEST. Save it IT makes all the rest of your stuff look great and the cat is the best. I know we all need money and recognition for what we do. If i displayed all i ever did in one room customers would be amazed and not try to get bit for free. They would be honored to own something from this scroll saw artist!!! Word gets around. HANG IN THERE BABY!!! :) frankorona 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dansnow Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Good advice here. If it doesn't sell right away, be patient with it. Pick a bottom price you want to get. Then over time, you have room to lower the price and still get a reasonable amount.. I just sold an item that I had been carting to craft fairs for well over a year. You just have to have it out there when the right person comes along. frankorona 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Just remember Frank it is easier to lower the price over time than to raise it. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankorona Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 ¿Estás hablando de dólares o pesos Frank? Bueno , lo puse en dólares. ¿EstarÃa más acorde un precio de 150dlls?

ike Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 At a price of 14.75 it will sell here in the Cincinnati area to person that likes Cats and the person that hates all cats will tell you that it is too High. Keep it the right person will come along and snatch it up as a bargain IKE. frankorona 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm sorry that you started talking in Spanish with no translation, it makes it confusing to those of us who don't understand it. If you have it priced at $14.75, personally, I think you've got it under priced. Some items just take longer to sell, sadly, the only thing you can do is wait until the right person comes along. Good luck my friend, I hope you can find a way to figure out the markets. Len frankorona 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Stick to your price. Sooner or later someone will buy it! I have had things sit in inventory for over a year before someone bought it! frankorona 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
