One price (say around £10) for "off the shelf" and another price (say around £15-£20) for "made to order". Sorry, I'm not sure what that is in dollars. I'll have a go at the linking business, but that may be a bridge too far.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459871513482076398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1795516688389896702.post-55445720436579328212008-03-28T12:39:00.000-04:002008-03-28T12:39:00.000-04:00Hey Phyl, it's Lellie!!!

I'd suggest that you make up one model of each style of purse you plan on selling and then let buyers know how each could be customized.<BR/><BR/>B. Pricing is always a difficult decision. Check out what others are charging for similiar purses and price yours competitively.

Perhaps you could even offer a service whereby you could offer a few basic designs and people could send you the fabric of their choice to do the purse? Just an idea.

Hags Bags was a close second because I thought it was super funny. I say make a TON and then sell them so when the orders start comming in you are ahead of the game (I think the price should be unique for each purse based on costs and time).
