I made this quilt, custom for a lady that told me last week "she just couldn't afford it right now". Again, her attempt to get me to lower my price AFTER she knew the price when she ordered it back in August. |
It was meant 'to be'!

Glad it worked out for you. I loved your JD quilt.

I've been following this story and I have a theory. When we see something we love and can buy it right then and there, we pay the asking price. When we have to wait for something, sometimes the love can wear off and we don't want it so badly anymore, or use the money for something else.
I think that's what happened here. The one who ordered it would have bought it if it had been already made.... like the mail man did. This is what I tell people about the things I make..... Sorry, no custom orders. Contracts would cause me great stress.... I'm too old for that. :D |

Well looks like she missed out, glad you were able to sell it to someone who knew instantly that he liked it!! If she comes back later w/a different offer cash up front or a stiff deposit on somthing different. :)
Think if sold on commission, Limits would be what's on Hand or you pick the color, that way I know would be working on somthing you liked :) |
Glad to hear this ended up with a happy ending for you and your mailman :D:D:D

If she comes back and still wants it, you know what to do -- set a firm price, get a signed commitment and get a non-refundable deposit. Now that you know how much it will sell for, I'd ask for at least 50%.
Congratulations on the sale. |
