Are my Etsy prices too high?

[HorseFeathers]

I was just wondering, since it costs a good deal to have photos printed... If you wanted to, would you buy them for that price or should I look into lowering them?
Thanks all

Not sure- Very good pictures but you might want to join a photography board or something and see if they can help you market or set prices- I'd never think to get pictures from Esty ... wouldn't cross my mind really

I don't think so. But you may want to lower the prices as a sale or something to draw people in, or until you get some regular sales.

I don't think so. I'm new to Etsy as well (joined back in January) and have also been having a difficult time trying to set prices. It seems that what I think something is worth and what people will pay are two waaaaay different things. I started pricing my Eggsential Tote a bit higher than it currently is (it is now $20) but wasn't selling any. I've since lowered the price and have sold a few. But considering the time that is involved, I can't lower the price any more. If I was paid by the hour, I would be making about $1 an hour!

With other things - dresses, etc - that I don't mind having in inventory (hanging in my guest closet), I won't lower the price at all; they can stay until the right person comes along unless I get really desperate for money! Thankfully this is a hobby and not my sole source of income. If it was, I would be hurting.

Figure out what your bottom barrel price is and find a compromise between that and what you think they are worth.

Good Luck!

BTW: Love the little bird drawing!

There are some I would pay that price for but not others. I think it completely depends on what a person wants.

That is a fair price for exceptional photography. I would stick to more generic images of animals and nature though. You have a few pictures of images that I don't think people would identify as much with. I think cross posting on a photography website would be a good idea too.

Thanks all! I was a bit worried... being new to Etsy and all, I wasn't sure of the price range.

And thanks for the tip, keedokes... I'm planning on doing that soon.

I agree....I don't buy stuff like that at all.

Hard time right now still to sell stuff....keep that in mind.

Good luck!
