My friend thinks that I'm going to be too expensive and she says I may not sell any. She says $12 - $15 for the mini & about $20 for the larger one. I wouldn't break even after buying fabric, supplies & my time sewing them. She burst my bubble. What is the going rate for them? Below are a few bags.
When I first made my 3, I ck'd Ebay to see what they were listed for. It was $45-$60. When I tried to sell mine to friends who just had to have one I told them I'd take $45. They all ran like rabbits. They just don't realize how much work goes into them. I'd love to make more but they'd just stack up. I can't figure out whether they made me angry or hurt my feelings. I might have even give a cpl. of them one as gifts til they hurt my feellings.
I'd be insulted if somebody told me the prices yours told you of $15--$20.
