NiksWaxNWicks Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have made a 3lb candle in a LOVELY glass rectangular container. I will post a picture, but I need help on a price! It is 8" long, 4" wide, and 4" deep3lbs, or 1.4kg of wax in it!Container cost was $10Please please help! One lady told me over $100, and another said only $55... so I need some help.

LeahRB Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 So you have $10 invested in the jar. I would figure out how much money you have in the wax and FO too and then take that number and multiply it by 3. I think that would be a fair way to price it.

Monvi33 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I agree with Leah..figure out how much you have into it and go from there.. on another note...that is a really pretty candle, big, but very pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellye Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I also think the candle is very pretty and hope that you get what you want for it. I am still new to all of this but have heard numerous times for pricing exactly what the other members are saying, to figure out your costs and multiply by three.Are each of the colored layers a different scent or are they they same scent in 3 different colors?Good luck!!!Kellye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Cool candle and I sometimes do double the price if I've paid a lot for my container. I tried to get on your website but couldn't. I'm in Canada as well so was curious to see your other creations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnjieBurdett Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Blimey! Thats huge! (said the actress to the vicar ) Soo pretty too. How long does that burn for? Surely you would have to include in the price the wax and f/o used for the test burn too? Thats why I gave up making the 6" 3 wick pillars it cost soo much to test burn the flippin thing and I never could wick the monster right! It beat me Anjie,x.
