Thanks mama.....I pretty much have the market here on island, but they want me to really give them away instead of buying them. I don't think my prices are bad. I sell them for $30 if I ship them and $20 if I don't. Plus, it all depends on the fabric. If it's designer fabric they want, then the price goes up. If they want reversable, that will add to the price too. I adjust depending on what they want.
Terri I think I have someone here in the city who may sell them for me for next year's tourist season. It is in the main downtown touristy area too!!! I sold a quilt there a few years ago, and had thought of trying to sell another one there next year, so I might throw in a few bags to see if they sell there too!
If the tourists here spoke English, I'd probably have no problem selling them, but most of the tourists here are Chinese/Japanese or Korean.
There is Chamorro Village that is open every Wed night, but it is so packed in there, people don't see every table. If you don't have a table up front, then you aren't seen. I know a girl that used to sell her jewelry there...she tried it for a month and made a profit of $10. Not worth it, if you ask me. She said it was horrible there. People bumping into tables and just being rude. I don't think I could sell at a place like that. I've been there once and won't go back. Just TOO crowded.
