Three shows, last was the best.

With the year winding down, some folks actually keep books & records. I scene a simular poll on the Yahoo site. But what a better time to do this, at the end of the year, when most of us just had our best month for sales. Then again, allot of us just do it, to do IT, and don't sell, but turn for the enjoyment and give their work away.
I would hope we could get a good turn out on this vote, so we can get a good picture of our market place in gross sales. Anthony

I cheated. I'm in the over $20k category, but I sell pens for a lot of people. [

Just added it up. Can't believe I grossed right about $2,000 in one year on a HOBBY!!! How cool is that? Talk about a hobby that pays for itself.

Had a real good year at our local farm market for Nov-Dec... most sales were for pens in the $50 and up range.. real surprising for the economy in this area, but I am not complaining, LOL...
Got some money for new toys and a lot of extra for my wife and daughter to have an exceptionally good Christmas, because without them life would not be worth turning...

I did pretty well this year, thanks mainly to a 50 pen order from a local business and a neighbor who bought about $300 worth. I'm going to try to hit the craft shows some next year and see how that works out.

I messed up on my post, I meant 100-1000, not under 100. Pretty good seeing as I only sold about 5 pens.

Didn't sell too many at shows, but friends sure come in handy!
I'm going to expand my line this year from slimline pens and bottle stoppers to a few other styles.

I did rather well at the one show I did this past year. Did significantly better with a captive group of about 85 total electricians who bought around one hundred total pens over about five months. Hope todo more shows this year.

56 Votes [] Were getting there. I really would like to see at least 100 votes on this. So if you haven't placed your bet, stop bye. []
Just can't figure it out, although I had a good year in pen sales, I still managed to spend more than I sold []

Started turning in February of 2004 and made A LOT more than I ever thought I would have. My wife and daughter and I turned over 1000 pens. We are going to start turning bowls in a month or so and double our pen production, I hope.

Mark sounds like you had a very busy year and plans for a bigger one for 2005. Good Luck.

Come on folks, I can't believe only 67 members out of 900 actually sold a pen last year. [] What due you do with them? If you don't sell, that is a ctagory for that too. []

"Pretty well" is a good thing. I am glad to see somebody making a living doing what you do. I am inspired. [
