I found this great post about pricing lampwork beads but it can be used as an advice for pricing any handmade items. Also all comments are interesting and inspiring. I know I am guilty of making the same mistake but when I compared prices of my display and storage bead trays at my store http://www.etsy.com/shop/eskiebeads with similar bead display trays at the Etsy market I realized I can’t go higher if I want to make sales. But with prices too low I couldn’t accept the offer to sell wholesale and I lost some business.
