How much would you sale a crocheted Blanket that you made for?
I make crochet blankets and i don’t knon how much money to sale them for.
On pricing, figure 3 times the cost of materials. If it’s an original design, go 3 times materials and then double it. If you sell out, then double it again!
Do lots of research and find out what others are charging, and whether anyone is selling any.
Know your customers. For instance, every new mom needs a few for baby, and they should be unusual and trendy – but the buyer is actually the family and friends who will be presenting them to her at a baby shower.
Different people have different decorating needs, so try to be up on what people are using to accessorize beds, sofas et cetera – and how to reach them..
Above all, don’t try to sell other peoples’ designs or patterns. Don’t pass off a kit as your own design. You’ll be shut down in two minutes.
Some places to sell might be a website of your own, Ebay, craft fairs, and consignment shops. If you have a day job, ask if you can put photos up on a bulletin board.
My pickups for the past week of items I am going to be putting up for sale on Ebay. 
My Ebay sales and garage sale/thrift store pickups for the week of August 21-27, 2011. Very, very slow week of sales with back-to-school, end-of-summer, and Hurricane Irene on the East Coast. I’m not risking running auctions until after Labor Day, so for now I am just trying to stock my Ebay Store.
