How much should I charge?

So I'm listing some pin badges up on Etsy, and don't know what I should charge for them or for the shipping.

I was thinking like $2.50 + $1.00 s/h should cover it, though international shipping would need to be higher, I guess?

Does that sound reasonable?

Any thoughts?

Also, sneak preview:

Sounds good enough..

$412.13.

Also, YAY. I can't wait to see 'em. What's your etsy link?

Don't really know how much these things go for, but that sounds pretty reasonable.

I personally never pay more for a pin than $1.50, so I would pay $1.50 plus the shipping. But that's a personal thing.

How big are yours?

yeah, it depends on size and quantity.
search around for other sites that sell to get a general price range.

Between the cost of materials and Etsy charges, I figure I'm out about $1 each, and I think I'll break even on shipping, so I'd be making about $1.50 each for designing, producing and shipping these, which I think is fair.

Forgot to mention these are the 1.25" size, not the dinky 1" ones. It really is amazing the difference that little .25" makes.

Oh, and here's my etsy link for anyone interested.

I'd probably sell sets of 4, because selling an mailing just the one seems too much hassle for the $? I guess I'd rather buy a set thatn just one pin, too? But then again I'm very rich, maybe it's different for the skint ones.

Oops, wrong link.

Here's the correct one

Thanks; I'll add you to my faves. I think your pricing is spot on, especially since they're not being mass-produced. I've paid more than that for pins before. At a retail store, well, not so much. :)

I'd say go with that pricing. I'll totally buy it for that!
