The next chance to sell my stuff at the Carey Street Crawl is Friday, September 5. I only sold one piece this past time, which covered the cost of my spot and a little bit extra; however, I was disappointed regardless, mostly because so many people stopped by and complimented my work, and several people came back and talked about how "(so and so) would love this!". No one wanted to make the purchase, yet no one tried to bargain or commented on my prices. Here are some pieces with their prices. Please be honest, artist or not, and tell me if you would pay what I'm asking or if I should come down.

I know the shops do well for events like the Carey Street Crawl, but I didn't see any other street vendors making sales. I'm trying to decide if it's worth trying again. I'm not sure if my prices are why I didn't make any more sales or if things just don't sell at these types of events. I also am keeping in mind that buying art is a luxury, not a commodity, and that times are tough for a lot of people right now. Thanks!
I don't know. I like the pieces though. Do they come on the driftwood? If you were going to lower prices maybe like 5 dollars but only because its a mental thing I think sometimes. Like if they were 20 instead of 25 etc but they are cool. What's the Carey st festival? I was going to come last time but was working. I'll look at calendar for next one. :)
ReplyDeleteJillian, I think your prices are fine. I think it was more likely that people were not buying at the event.
