How to Price Your Crochet Items

If you've decided to take the plunge and sell your crochet, one of the first things you want to think about is how to price your items.  You don't want to price them too high so that buyers won't be scared off, but you shouldn't price them too low either (after all, you are trying to start a business).  You should do some searching to see if others are selling similar items and how much they are charging, but a rough way to calculate how much to charge is to add up the costs of all of the supplies that you used to create the item and multiple by 3.  This will give you a good starting point from which to adjust up or down depending on the market for your goods.

Other Websites That Sell Handmade

There are more Etsy-like services popping up.  Two that seem to be easy to work with and are gaining momentum are Zibbet and Made It Myself.  Since they are relatively new services, both are offering free listings.  Zibbet (www.zibbet.com) also does not take a cut when you sell a product, and they offer two types of accounts, a free one with 25 listings allowed and a premium one, which is $7 a month right now (to rise to $15/month).  Made It Myself (www.madeitmyself.com) is still offering free listings as well, but they are going to be charging 3% on the sale price of your products.  But, they also have a feature where you can check a box that indicates that the price of a listed item is negotiable.  Check out their sites for more details!
