Rizaydog, I went to your website woodchux and was pleasantly surprised to see someone that was asking a decent price for nice pen's.
There are a lot of people that do this just for a hobby, and they end up giving a lot of pens away are asking a very cheap price. These are nice gestures on their part, but it kind of makes it harder for people that are trying to make a living at it. Others are just sometimes a little shy and about asking a decent price.
If we just sit down and think of all the materials, machinery, electricity, skill, finishes, expendables and other things we have invested we don't see other companies selling their products shy at all about asking some very high prices.
And I told me a long time ago, people always like to show off and brag how much something cost to impress their friends. He also said if somebody really want something bad enough price is no barrier.
Case in point the wizard. More than I wanted to spend, but I saw it as an investment that would have returns so I bought it. But the key is… I wanted it!
Case in point… I had a Venter come to my house the other day he saw my pens and asked how much, I said will choose one and I'll tell you. Didn't take him long to find the one he really wanted. It was a laminated slimline, I told him $60, he said while wood to take $35, I said sorry, but no, he went up to $45 to condense the story he paid the 60 then he said I really wanted to pen, I just thought maybe I could break you down.
When we design a new pen from her own thoughts it's a one-of-a-kind. We invented it! To market a new invention it usually costs thousands of dollars, this is an area where we can invent something brand-new perhaps found nowhere else at a very reasonable price. Keep up the good work.
