Totally OT! Would You Buy This? If Yes, How Much Would You Spend?

[Former Teacher]

First and foremost, I am not selling this on here. I just need need some unbiased, outside people's opinion.

Years ago when I taught preschool, my sister made this for me. My class LOVED playing with it. Anyway, I have no need for it anymore.

If you saw something like this, would you purchase it for your business? If yes, how much would you spend on it?

I ask this because I have posted it on CL and on free local FB pages. However the answers I have been getting are ridiculous. One only wanted to pay $5! I realize that it is used. However it is still in very like new condition, despite grubby 4-5 year old hands on it ::, and it took a LONG time for my sister to make, with all the little pieces etc.

As I said in my previous ads, I don't want to gouge someone. However it is to nice of a piece to just give it away.

Thoughts?

Thank you Michelle!

I did not know that Lakeshore even had one. Now I have something to compare it to.

Thanks again!

Michelle-

Could you please perhaps post a link for the one you have? That way I have something to compare it to.

Thanks!

I have an etsy shop, and I would ask at least $40 for it new. If all of the thread ends are secure and nothing is unraveling, I would pay $25 without blinking an eye.

I instantly thought lakeshore as well. I have a similar item of vinyl pockets and thick cardboard pickes, many pieces for each letter and I think I probably paid 50 for it. I would agree with $25 easily.

That is so cute and it looks new! Hold out for at least $25.00 PLUS shipping costs.

[Happy Hearts]

Hard to say as it I can't tell how big it is. But it is cool.

Thank you all! lovethis

I was beginning to think that I was the crazy one. Glad to know I am not! happyface

I am thinking of listing it on eBay and if that doesn't work then etsy.

Thank you all again!

[Breezy]

Id pay $23-$35

[daycarediva]

I would pay $25+shipping. So, um....are you selling it?

[cheerfuldom]

I could see that easily being $40 or more online. I personally wouldnt spend more than $10 but I am a cheapskate. However, if I saw that someone else had one and they paid $40, I would think they got a good deal.

Actually I am!

I posted that I wasn't selling HERE because I don't want it to seem like I am selling stuff here ::

FYI: I always thought $20-25 was reasonable. It was just after all the low responses I just needed some opinions.

[Michael]

$40 is fair.

[countrymom]

that is so cute. I love it. Um where did your sister get that pattern, I would make one for my group. Oh I think 25 or 30 dollars is fair--but only a really crafter would know the time and sweat that was put into it
