Railroad Spike Butterflies

I'm making about a dozen of these for this weekends art show in town. They should fetch around $75 each

[SomethingMetal]

$75 each? Seriously? I'm in the wrong part of America!!

Right next to NYC where cigarettes are $14.00 a pack

i'll send some items up that way and if you sell them take a 25% commission and send me the rest!! lol. I know your cost of living up there is higher than mine. Good luck and I hope you sell every single one of them!

Good luck! It's funny when people freak out about prices. We had a big rodeo this summer and some of my prices were high. But to someone from California or New York they were cheap! Plus they bought something made in Wyoming. I also get told by local artists I'm too low on price. Sometimes, yes. Sometimes no, usually I go but the pricing excel sheet that was shared here, other times, if it feels right, that's the price I use. I made some trophies earlier this year, and I was in the mid range for price, but I got another request for more. So, I don't worry about others prices. Sometimes you never know, just go with what feels good for you and will put cash in your pockets.

Good idea, $75 now thats a nice markup. Craig

Good idea, I have a box of old spikes I collected while walking my dogs over the years along a railroad track. I have been tossing around ideas. This may be one of them.

[RobertJohnson]

How did sales go?

[michmetalman]

Real nice idea! Sometimes we forget our metal pieces will pretty much last a lifetime, so price accordingly.

I sold every one of them and got orders for 7 more, now I need to go find more spikes
