Honest Answers Please!

I designed and painted this wooden advent calendar for my son and my family are all saying I should make and sell them and I’d love to but I don’t think anyone would buy it! I really want honest answers/feedback even if it’s harsh on whether or not you would buy one and if you would, what is the maximum you would pay for it? The snow, mountains and moon are covered in white glitter and really sparkle, it just doesn’t show up in the picture! The sides are also painted a continued version of the front. Basically the mountains, snow and sky wrap round the sides, top and bottom 😊

You have any awesome talent. People would buy those for sure. I've helped a few people build websites for things like this.

I would absolutely buy something like that 😍 you are so talented and you should definitely do something with that talent!

@Sarah aw thank you so much that’s so kind of you! Oh really? Did they need the website because they were selling a lot or just set up a website to get started?

That looks beautiful you should definitely sell them i would love to buy one but i know damn well it would have to cost way more than i can afford right now for you to be paid fairly for your time x

@Kristina oh wow that is so so lovely of you to say! Thank you so much!! If you don’t mind me asking, how much would you expect to pay for one? It would just really help me work out if it would be worth the amount of hours it takes to paint! I won’t be offended whatever amount you say, I just want to know what to expect 😊

Why don’t you set up an Etsy account for it? Have a look at what other similar sellers have priced theirs for and go with similar?

@Millie aw thank you so much!! 🥰 if you don’t mind me asking, how much would you expect to pay for it? It would just help me work out if it’s worth the hours you’re talking about! 😅 x

@Neena I have had a look at similar sellers but they’re all very different styles to mine and the prices vary massively, between £30-£200! So I’m struggling to see where mine would fit in that price range. Setting up an Etsy account would be my next step after working out the price 😊

@Megan I would expect to pay $50 here in America for one that isn't hand painted, so factoring in that it's hand painted, I'd probably expect to pay no less than $80-$100 depending on the design!

@Kristina amazing, that’s very useful thank you very much for commenting! 😊

I would totally buy that provided it’s not too expensive!

@Megan i would say at least £150 if not more x

@Elena thank you! If you don’t mind me asking, what kind of price range would you expect to pay?

@Millie wow! That’s so lovely of you to think it’s worth that much!! Thank you so much! X

@Megan both, they set it up to get more visibility online, and by doing so, they got more orders for what they were selling.

It’s absolutely beautiful and you should open Etsy shop ASAP

As to pricing it… go in the middle, you don’t want to sell it too cheap as cheap is always suspicious and you also want to value your time and effort, and as you’re brand new you shouldn’t charge high end prices either. Work out your labour cost + materials and add extra 20-30% 👍🏼

Beautiful work! I totally understand not know where to start with pricing, as I make some wire wrapped jewelry. I tried to sell some of fb marketplace and not even any catches for $5! But could easily sell for $25-50 at a farmers market. The only advice I can give is look up youtube videos about selling on etsy/farmer markets! As to make taxes as painless as possible 😉

Yeah it's amazing, I would pay for it! Is it wooden too?

@Sarah ahh ok interesting, thank you!

@Karolina ahhh thank you that’s so kind of you! 🥰

@Karolina that’s actually really smart. Thank you so much for the advice, I’ll do that!!! 😊

@Brooke thank you so much! Ahh yes I think everyone on fb market place just wants things super cheap even if they’re worth a lot more! People definitely spend more at farmers markets. Thanks so much for your advice I will have a look on YouTube!

@Anita ahh thank you so much! Yes it is wooden! If you don’t mind me asking, how much would you expect to pay for one?

@Megan I honestly have no idea so I went and had a look and they vary in price but designs hand painted in a similar style to yours ranged from £20-£50+($25-$62). I would pay £25 because I'm a cheapskate 🫣 but ultimately it's what you value your time as along side the cost of the resources. I do feel like customised pieces you can always mark up.

I love the idea and the execution of it  If wood is oak would pay up to 200£, if pine or any other wood material - lesser. Hope I am helpful. P.S: Don’t think it too much, just go make some and sell them. Will make a great contribution to someone’s season event decor!

Wowww awesome

That's gorgeous! I'd make one, put it on Etsy, and see the response. Make sure you price it so that it's worth the effort from you and see if it sells.

That's gorgeous!! I'd buy it xx

From what I've see online you could see this for $50-75 USD. I would suggest if you do make them to sell that you make the numbers pop a bit more as they are just a bit hard to see.

That is so beautiful!

It’s beautiful, I’d buy for £50-60 x

$50+!

Did you make it or buy it and paint it?

That’s stunning, I’d easily pay $50

That’s so pretty. I’d buy one

I would buy it! Literally dont doubt yourself that is a beautiful product! I would be happy to buy between £35-45. You could price for more but for me personally i wouldnt want to buy something too expensive, but thats my personal budget. There would be plenty people willing to pay more. You are so talented!

Holy fuck bro make a business

It’s beautiful!

@Anita ah ok thanks so much 😊

@Sandra great that’s helpful thank you so much!

@JL ah thank you! That’s the plan, I just wanted to see what price other people thought 😊

@Vicky ahh thank you!! Xx

@Emily ahh thank you! I actually purposefully made the numbers not stand out too much so it doesn’t distract from the overall picture but they are easier to see in real life as they have a shine 😊

@Arianna aww thank you!!
