warriorfaery Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I did a search on these and came up with lots of instructions on how to do them my question is how do you come up with price? the same as with candles cost x3 or is there another equation? And with packaging some said they put something under them then wrap in cello with a bow what do you recommend to put under? What about using a doll stand or something like that? TIA for input as always! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmaskitchen Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I am not sure what to set the price at because I gave mine away as gifts to friends and family. But, what you need to put under them to protect them are some grease proof doilies. Then, you put them in cello bags and tie them tight to hold in the fragrance.If I were you, I would do an internet search and see what others are selling them at to give you an idea how much to sell yours for.

AngelaVA Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I sell my bears with a plate underneath them and wrap them up in cello, plate and all. It costs a little more to do this, but I just know that someone will put the bear directly on their grandmother's piano and it will ruin the wood, so I'd rather include a plate. These can sell for quite a bit of money, depending on your area. I say charge as much as your market will bear (no pun intended, lol).

carol k Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 you can buy the tin pie plates or cheap dollar store plate to sit them on.i use the large cello bags from millcreek to package them and tie with twine, ribbon. i sell mine for $15.00 for the 7.5" and $10.00 for the 6" bears, depends on your area where i live it is mostly rural, no big cities. i have seen them for sell for $24.95 around or in big cities. if i charged that i wouldn't sell any around here.

warriorfaery Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 thanks for the replies. where is the best place to order bears? or do you buy out the dollar store? i found bears that are 4 inch (sitting) at my local dollar store. i am not really rural but the closest "big" city is Pittsburgh which is 35 minutes or so. I have not seen these here anywhere so figured new idea:cheesy2: why not try it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlebean Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I sell my 7.5'' bears for $18 - I get them from Peak - even though Peak is the farthest away and the shipping is the most expensive for me, the price of the actual bear is so low that it more than makes up for the difference. Speaking of Peak's bears, I am waiting and waiting to order a case, but the little white guys have been out of stock for soooo long - I don't want to order a case without white because I know as soon as I do that's all anyone will want LOL Calling all white bears - please get yourselves to Peak so I can order you!

Scented Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Mmmm it would depend on how many white bears you looking for because some might be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
