SatinDucky Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Well, making them is the first step Then calculating how much they cost you to make. Some do cost x3 = retail, cost x 2 = wholesale, others do it differently. Then you have to take into account the area you're selling and adjust the figure....

Julie Renee Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 In my area I can only get cost x 2 for container candles. When I was doing jelly jars I could get 5.00. Once you are ready to sell, try cost x 3, it is always easier to drop your price then it is to raise it.:smiley2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darwin Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I sell mine for $6. but, in an area with a better economy, you can sell them for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudsnwicks Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 While surfing through candle websites, I've seen them priced at anything from $4.50 to $9. Guess it really depends on where you live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I can sell mine for $6.00 in my area. I also offer a discount when they buy in 3's. Buy 2 get 1 half off which ='s $5.00 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
