[Woodcarver] Re: First post- how to price?

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Bill,

If you find a place where you are getting the best price, why would you go 
to any place just to sell it it for less?

Once you learned what to do to get the right price expand on those methods 
to further open up that market.

joe I agree with u on what u are sayin howeve when
someone is lookin to see what the prices should go for
u explain that to your curstomer n most of the time
they will inderstand I had one customer come to me and
ask me why he paid so little at another place in even
in a different state and I said i was not sure how my
stuff would market. Like I had to learn at my other
shows.
