I would want to know where he is going to sell the quilts and for how much. Sounds like he might have his head in the clouds. How many of us, when showing a hand made item to someone, have heard "Oh, you are so talented, you should open a store."
It's not that simple. Selling quilts is tough. Does he have a retail outlet already or is he going to sell them to stores. I think I would say, "you can pay me X for my time, then you have the quilt to do with as you wish." |

Christmas coming up,WOW you could make a bundle!!!! FINGERS CROSSED THAT THIS WILL PROFITABLE ADVENTURE FOR BOTH OF YOU. Start out by giving him 1 or 2 quilts- take photos of each one you give him - remember slow and easy wins the race |

What do you have to lose?
|
Do you know this man? Make sure you check him out throughly. Be careful if he says he will reimburse you for the fabric. You could purchase the fabric then be out the $$ if he changes his mind.
|
Sounds good to me.
|
So, he's going to buy the fabric and you're going to do the work.
He's going to pay himself back for the fabric and then split the proceeds? Is he going to pay you for the work before splitting the proceeds? Did he say 50/50? Or did he just say "split". Get all the details in writing and make sure you understand how everything will be split. Good luck and congratulations. |
references on this guy wouldnt hurt......... has he worked this deal before with anyone else?
It sounds good, just keep your eyes open |
Do you really want to gamble with someone you don't know...you could end up loosing on this deal and you are already in a pinch for money.
