Made a curly koa slim for a customer, I messed up drilling the clip end, so it looks crooked, the customer is buying it as a gift for somebody else.. Should I charge 10 or 15?
haha, okay pick one 10 or 15? I want to charge under 20 because I am still an apprentice pen turner, this is my 7th pen

Thanks I appreciate ithaha, okay pick one 10 or 15? I want to charge under 20 because I am still an apprentice pen turner, this is my 7th pen
One more thing to consider. If you charge them $10 or $15, then your customers will expect all your pens to be that price and you find it hard to raise the prices without them complaining. It doesn't matter if you are new to pen turning.
I agree with above, nothing under $20, in fact I don't charge less than $25 for a slim.
BTW, very nice pen.
I will let the customer decide, If she does not like it or mind then i will sell her a different koa pen and just sell this one for 3 dollarsMade a curly koa slim for a customer, I messed up drilling the clip end, so it looks crooked, the customer is buying it as a gift for somebody else..

Do it over, I would never sell a messed up pen.
I know it suxs because it was KOA but that's not your customers fault.

Do another one and give that one to someone else. If you know is it messed up. well lets say it is bad muju to sell it.

Excellent advice, and my sentiments exactly!Don't ever sell pens that you know don't work, broken, miss glued... whatever. Your name and reputation are forever associated with that pen. If there is something wrong with the pen I either fix it or start over, they never leave my shop. Do not let your experience (or lack there of) dictate the price of the pen. Set a price and stick with it, if you make beautiful functional art, people will see that and will buy it. If not, fine. Don't change the price, and certainly don't let the customer decide and don't sell junk. Don't even give away junk.
