mindy5140 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 If this is the wrong place to post I'm sorry. I just didn't know where to post my question.I sell my soy tarts for 50 cents each, my mom thinks that's to cheap. She thinks I should bump it up to 80 cents each but I think that's a little expensive. And also since The big dogs tarts are like $1.19 each where I live she thinks that I'm basically just giving them away for free.So I'm wondering how much everybody sells theirs for??TIA,Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire and Ice Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 A great deal of the price has to do with where YOU live and what your customer will pay.I live in rual area so my prices are not the same as those in the big city. Clamshells are $3.00 each. Fire:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firstlady Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I also live in out in the country ( small community) small town and only sell by word of mouth not in stores. i sell mine $2.50 a bag, 6 tarts to a bag. i still make money off these, the standard tart mold dont hold a full oz and even those places like yankee is selling them for over a $1 each, i wouldn't do it. because not only would i not sell any around here.( big city probably could) but i personaly wouldn't pay $1 for a tart thats does'nt weight a oz, the foiled lined cups from kycandle will hold more and i have bought them from people just to test a scent. for $1 . so much depends on where you live, round here the big shots that does have lots of money wants the big name things LOL! i have some party lites tarts that a lady was selling in her store, i keep them in a bag for when people comes by house to pick up their order or hubby takes order to them, i let them see the party lites to see which they would preferr LOL! they are amazed at how pretty & stronger throw mine have even cold. plus the little thin hearts are so disformed and thin . i do no travel in my sell, nor to stores, nor set up at craft shows, so i can sell at this price and still come out at least $6 ahead from tarts made from one LB of wax, plus most people buy more than one bag, most buys from 4-6 0r 8 bags at a time, then i will hear from them the next month. so i think you have to consider how much it cost you to make & sell tarts to know what to charge from them and where you live. this ist a hobby for me that i don't want to get so busy at, that i don't have time for all the other things in my life.

I am thinking about upong the price to .75 or go with the clamshells.I live in a small town to but I do see potential in selling my tarts for 75 cents each, clamshells I sell these and barely anybody knows what they are so I barely sell any and I sell mine for (clamshells $2.50).Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I just raised the price today.It was $1.00 for 2 in a pack.Now it is 2 for $1.60.Paying for shipping that way but might just do away with 2 pack and go with 6 and 12 pack.Believe me I realized that selling for $.50 each that is cheap.The only place I MIGHT sell that cheap would be craft shows.LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
