Okay, I'm not exactly sure where this thread should go, but this forum seems appropriate...

I'm (going to be) a new designer, and I was wondering how to determine a reasonable price for my items. I'm still very new here, so I don't know what's a "standard" price... heck, I don't know anything of the economics of this place.

I'm nowhere near ready to start selling anything, but I figured I'd start asking the questions and doing the research now. Mind you, I'm not looking at this as a business venture, but at the same time, I don't want to undervalue my items and miss out if people are indeed willing to pay a little more for them.

Thanks. :)

See what your competitors are charging.

Yep. Find out what your competitors are charging, and undercut it by L$20-50 until you are established, then you are free to charge the same or more. :)

To add to the suggestion of setting prices close to similar items, using slexchange.com and slboutique.com to get an idea of prices is a lot easier than trying to find similar items in world.
