Point taken. I don't have much experience, I've only done 3 shows ever (c:
I do sell little things quite a bit, like bookmarks and tiny cheaper ornaments, because people want to take soemthing away that's been "lasered", they just never intended on buying something big. I need to just invest (and write off) and make a bunch of wooden business cards. I just haven't made the plunge yet.
Did you laser your clocks? I'd LOVE to make one for my other-job boss (he's an avid clock collector). The plans I bought for a different one came on paper, and I had to scan in and vectorise. i got overwhelmed and couldn't complete doing it.
What laser/wattage do you use? Do you vector cut 1/4 Oak well? I haven't had much luck with 1/4" oak. a lot of charring. Did you vectorize your own stuff or get a PDF from somewhere?
You have some great stuff on your site. Also, where'd you get the puppy plaque plans?
And Ken, that's a good idea to put a "Retail" sticker price somewhere. I might experiment with something like that just to see where it leads. It kinda feels weird, like almost being dishonest. But when it comes down to it, I'm going to decide a price, and they're either going to pay it or not. They have a choice on whether they want to buy it or not. This whole thing is still pretty new to me, I've never sold things before (as anyone who's read all my posts have probably guessed).
