KCScentsations Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 How much is too much when it comes to selling 8oz mason jar candles? What would be the most you would buy this particular size candle for? $6, $7, $10 etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becky0404 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 That's a tough questions since every area's market is different. In my area, I think people would pay no more than $7 for an 8oz. mason. Providing it looked nice and smelled great . Other areas, though, you might be able to set it at $10 and people would think it's a great price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Creek Candles Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 My price on them are $9 and I haven't had anyone say my prices are too high. But like anything; price for your area. And make it worth your while, no use doing all that work if you aren't getting paid for your time and work. Ask me how I know. I kept telling myself you sure are some cheap labor.

I kept telling myself you sure are some cheap labor.I was thinking the same thing as far as cheap labor.:undecided I sell mine for $10 with no problems now. Now meaning, when I first started selling them some people thought "oh, wow $10"? Until they smelled them and seen how GREAT the wax burns. I don't have any problems at all selling them now and have been thinking of only selling this size. I was just wondering about other areas too.

SherriLynn Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Mine are $8.50 each or 2/$16.00HOWEVER,,,,,, I have several northern stores that sell the heck out of these candles during tourist season. They charge $10.50 and $10.95 and people don't blink an eye. Then again, it's a different market than craft or internet sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I sell my 8 oz. square mason jar candles for $10.50 ea. and the stores I carry them in sell them from $10.99-$15.99. I really think it falls down to what the market will bear. Soy is huge in my area. I was very hesistant when the stores marked them up but I don't set their retail prices.
