rebeccajo99 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 probably the same place as the person who is selling tarts for .35 cents and tealights for 10 cents. (or 12 for $1.00)I really need to find this place too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura9259 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 :confused:I don't honestly think that .99 cents for a votive is to low Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 With the cost of supplies in today market I do think $.99 is to low but a lot of people are happy with just getting a tiny bit over cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxSioux Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hmmm ... you probably don't want to know where they get their supplies from!! LOL Wonder if they're making them, or re-selling? I've seen 2oz votives at a salvage sale (freight company) for .25, so they might have a source like that. It sucks when people undersell the market, but you usually get what you pay for. Susan.

LynnS Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I think I saw that for a Ohio craigslist.$.99 votives.If you are in MI they may be advertising everywhere. I know in Ohio candles don't sell as high as other places/states. In Ohio probably $.99 is about all you would get for a votive. I sell tarts $1.00 for a package of 2. I don't make votives but do the flower pot ones.The easy way. LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beechcreekcandles Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 We sell our replacement votives for $1.25. Most stores in the area that sell votives are asking the same. While our votives are soy, we still wouldn't get many sold if we were to ask upwards of $2. At $1.25, we sell quite a few....it's better to make profit on volume than individual, IMO.
