February 18, 20188 yr Popular Post comment_140821 Okay guys I suck at pricing things I have made so I am asking your opinions there is no wrong answers. The wood is spruce which runs about 12 for 8ft piece I have to use all but like 2 foot of it depending on board of course. plexi here runs about 15 for a sheet that I can make about 5-6 banks from. Time, I am not sure of yet because there was a bunch of delays. but I will say there was a ton of hand sanding as you can imagine. a can of poly is about 8 per spray can. thank you a head of time for your replies. These banks are being donated to the service dog organization who gave me my dog for them to sell. That is why I need a price tag. also the eyes and nose are real wood cut to fit.and inlaid Report
February 18, 20188 yr comment_140822 Nice work and, sweet gesture for a great cause. Maybe $25, depending on the buyers' demographic. Since it's a charity, might bump it to $35, with the extra $10 as a donation. Report
February 18, 20188 yr Author comment_140827 I am giving them to the organization free of charge but they will be selling them and keeping the money Report
February 18, 20188 yr comment_140834 Great looking project and a wonderful organization. I agree with others- about $35 Report
February 18, 20188 yr comment_140846 I would say if you're donating them (your cost and effort) and they're being sold...35 sounds like a good starting point. Most won't know how much effort is involved in making them anyway, but the donation is for a good cause, so people (hopefully) won't be so stingy about paying that little for them. Report
February 18, 20188 yr comment_140856 Kudos Lissa for both the quality of your work and the intended recipient. Very cool!! I think the rest of the guys suggestions are probably right on especially with the $10 donation thought. Something to peruse for general pricing ideas...https://www.etsy.com/market/wooden_dog_bank Report

February 19, 20188 yr Popular Post comment_140937 Maybe I 'm not even thinking straight but when we make something for the church to sell to raise money for whatever those things are usually bought for two or three times their actually value. With that thought in mind I can see this doggy with a see through tummy going skyward of 100. I think Lissa would certainly appreciate the higher valued placed on her effort....even though I understand they are donations...or am I wrong there? Report
February 19, 20188 yr comment_140938 Great job,Lisa, that is the cutest darn puppy bank I have ever seen. I would give $35. for it. Herb Report
