Priceing

[Amber R. King-Southern]

Good evening scrollers. I know I ask a lot of questions, but I want to know as much as I can about scrolling. So my question today is. How do you price your work? Do you do it based on details? How long it takes you? How much your supplies are? Or do you just say the first number that comes to you? Please share how you price your work. P.S. I participated in the picture of yourself topic in the coffee shop 😬

This is a subject that has been discussed many times in many different forums. The easiest I found was to figure out what you want to make per hour.  Then how long it takes to cut a certain piece. Then I add about 20% for materials and such. This is my normal formula I use. I also allow for stack cutting piece since you cut more then one at a time. Ultimately the market will dictate your price. I use a completely different formula for custom pieces or pieces cut from exotic woods. Hope this helps some.

Yes thank you.

I price each item accordingly. Taking into account approximate time, materials and etc. I then set a fair price I'll be satisfied with (no formulas).

Hey Amber you won't believe the questions I have asked on this forum so don't worry about it. Just ask away. Can't help you with pricing cause I give all I make away. It's the only way I can get rid of it.

I try to get $12 pr hour + material. Sometimes that eon't work Then I use what the market will bear. I like to make $500/1000 for the year and use it for expences  next year.

For my this is a hobby and if something sells so much the better.  Pricing is very relative.  I make lots of Miniature Birdhouses and sell them for $10, while my friend in NC can't sell them for $6.  It is whatever the market will bear.

Whatever the market will bear !

 

If an item doesn't sell for what I think it is worth (considering time and materials) then I will reduce the price until I get rid of them and won't make any more.
