How to price your puppets

[wes]

I know that this is not the thread for this, but I was responding to the post above. (by gfartwort) If i had tons of money and skill... I would certainly use eBay as a way to sell my puppets and get my name out there... the only problem I have, is that once I complete one... it would be like selling a child!

I understand but I try make sure that they are going to a good home.

Than any others I may sell... when the time comes.... sigh

hi everyone! I tried the links and I keep getting an error.

I already posted this link awhile back, but in case anybody missed it the URL you can download the calculator from is http://www.puppetbuilding.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/puppetpricingcalculator.zip

The original page it was linked to from was lost with the old version of the site.

I put this current link into the first post of this thread to hopefully continue with no further confusion.

I need some help

I will be posting in Ebay one of my puppets that I will sell.
I will also post a pic in the room on what the puppet looks like as well as how big it is.

It is not a muppet, all though it has a big mouth and done in muppet style.
She is an original plus. The plus is that if anything happends to it i will repair it for no extra cost execpt for postage and handleing that is all I will expect.

The problem is how much to sell this original puppet for?

As soon as I can I will post a pic in here and then you can all see what it looks like.

Pricing is a tough issue, have you looked at the calculator that's mentioned in this thread? It's not perfect and isn't applicable to every situation, but it can be helpful (I hope!) in figuring out pricing when you are building puppets.

The link doesn't seem to be working anymore....

PuppetBuilding.com got hacked awhile ago and I had to take it offline. I haven't had time to put it back up yet, but I'll email you a copy of the calculator when I get home this evening.

If anybody else needs it just email me privately at puppetvision {at} gmail.com.
