Did you know a $30 item will sell faster then a $25 item of the same thing if marked in whole prices? $25 grates but $30 is smooth. Weird but true to majority of buyers.

I forgot about Etsy! That's a wonderful place to get some ideas on pricing. I love to shop there. Great place.

there are 2 basic ways to price items. First one is to take all the costs (guesstimate if fabric is older) and times it by 3. The second one is to take all your costs and add an hourly wage (this usually works better for items that you are making several at the same time). Either way you use, take that number and look at similar items selling (on etsy or local shows). Are your prices within that range? Adjust accordingly. BTW - they are very nice and I'm sure they will fetch a nice price.

You might think about raffling them rather than selling. You can charge $1 a ticket or 6 for $5. Just a thought.
