CallawayCandle Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 For those of you that make the tarts in the clamshells from the coop, how much do you charge for these. Just trying to gather a general consensus for what these go for. TIA:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tess Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 On these anywhere from 4-6 X my cost. General consensus is 4X your cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hewells Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Sorry to bother youPlease don't get discouraged. There has been alot of negativeness going on lately. There have been several posters that are new that have been rude and type abusively to other members and right now alot of people are kinda gun shy(if you get what I am trying to say) Im not sure but I don't think the previous post meant to sound standoffish just that the search feature is a wonderful asset, you will find a vast array of information. You may find the answer you are looking for,but there are times that you just don't find what you are looking for I just state that I have tried to search and did not find the answer to my question, that way the other chandlers know that I have been looking and not just expecting a hand out. Please don't think I meant that you were looking to be spoon fed(the several I spoke of earlier).You will get your answer from someone. Not everyone tells you to search.

Not everyone tells you to search.I agree people are a little gun shy right now don't let it stop you from asking questions.I charge $2.50 for mine but I only put 2 oz of wax in mine. If you fill them all they way up you would need to charge more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candlesprite7 Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think the general consensus is about $1 an ounce, I havent sold these yet (still testing) but I think $3 in this area will do just fine...you can go up or down depending on where you live. I have been filling mine all the way up so it will hold 3 ounces....I really like these, I just have to make sure they last awhile and figure out a label for them..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisR Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I charge $3.00 each or 4 for $10.00 and sell tons of them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 I think I charge $3, but I can't remember off the top of my head. No one has ever bought one from me, lol. My customers just don't do tarts (in any shape or form), they love the wickless candles instead. Works for me because I make more profit on those.

Terrie Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Sorry to bother youTrust me, Georgia is the last person who would get hateful. She's a wonderful help and was just guiding you to the search feature. I charge $4.00 for my clams. They're very popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlatoms Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Hi I sell mine for 2.50 .Here in the mid west I really do not think you can go much higher. Darla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 Thank you, Terrie and I'm sorry, Heather. It did seem a bit rude looking at it today. I certainly did not mean it to be. Clamshells are a very popular topic these days and there are tons of posts out there about pouring temps, labeling, displaying them, selling prices, etc. I answered your question and gave you a tool to find more info...guess I could have been more tactful.

Fire and Ice Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I sell them at $ 3.00 each or 4 for $10.00. They're very popular for me. Many people don't know what to do with them so I always explain that they are great where a flame is not allowed. Now I just have to buy some electric tart warmers to go with them.

These are wonderful, just slap a label on and call it good!I got some thru a coop last year but can't remember where they came from. Maybe someone knows. Keep checking in the coop section, they are rather cheap!Good luck - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
