when i had an art show, i sold copies of my prints that were displayed in a frame that wasn't included, but came matted for $20 a piece!. i dont know what that calculates to exactly in terms of the cost to me, but i figure for something i can reproduce fairly easily, people want something original and at the same time dont want to pay the one of a kind price!. $20 is a nice price that makes money but doesn't require any bill that is larger than what the average person carries in their wallet!. people can part with a 20 for something they like!.

At least 500 percent of your cost price, which includes your space rental as well as your items!. That would be a lot if everybody bought a photo but they will not!. One in ten would be amazingly good!. You have to speak to people, talk to them, engage them into your product!. Most will shun you!. If you are not able to handle that, don't try!. You might make one sale for every thousand people you engage!. Well done if you achieve that!. If you just sit and do nothing, nobody will be interested and you will make no sales, but you will still be responsible for the rent!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
