Mark to market

AND SO YOU SEE.

I have finally finished the Loki doll I was working on for jou, and because he's probably my most fabulous creation to date I present him now



Regular Loki!



Loki with hat!


And now I have some questions for you all! I'd like to open my etsy shop and start taking doll commissions, but I'm very bad at pricing my goods, so I wanted to offer this poll. If you could just take a moment to throw in your input, that would be awesome.


[Poll #1802525]

Thank you for your help! :D

Don't sell your time short. Time is valuable and you're spending a lot working on these.

I'd look at Deadly Sweet's pricing. Although she's on holiday break right now. But her pricing should give you an idea of where you should be.

I'm likely not a representative case, because of the stingy and all.

I'm not a follower of these fandoms, and so price isn't really the deciding factor for me. However, for a doll of this type, I would pay in the $10 - $15 range.

On an unrelated note, I really admire the stitching on the Loki armor and hat.

another way to think of it is an hourly wage. Would you pay yourself less than minimum wage?

Thank you so much. I really need to talk to you about this at length, actually, because you're the first person who came to mind when I was wondering about this, and also because...honestly seeing this comment made me feel a lot better on a day when I was getting very frustrated about what my own stuff might be worth.

I so appreciate it. ;_;
