Question: Home business-what would you pay?
I am brainstorming ideas for things to make/sell with a home business.
1. How likely would you be to buy this item from an individual?
2. What would you pay for this stuff, if anything?
A. Crochet doilies, dishcloths, snowflakes, scarves
B. Cross stitched ornaments, bookmarks, sipper cups, mugs, pin cushions, scented sachets, wall hangings, coasters (the coaster patterns wouldnt get spilled on cuz they have plastic seperating your drink from the pattern)
C. Handmade jewelry like earrings, headbands, barrettes using seed beads or complicated design friendship jewelry or hemp
D. Stollen, cookies, and bars for parties or holidays--how much for 1 stollen or 1 dozen bars/cookies?
E. Homemade spice mixes (a blend of several spices to make a spice to use in baking/cooking) like spaghetti spice mix, chili spice mix, taco spice mix, rice seasoning mix, onion soup mix
Answer: A. I would buy dishcloths and doilies if they were original and pretty as gifts, The price I would pay would depend on the size, design, type of yarn, etc... Dishcloths I would say $2.50 -$4.50 at the most.
B. These would be nice if custom, made-to-order, I would pay again dependent on the item.
C. Definately if it was original/pretty 
D. Really dont know here, I can get this stuff at local bake sales and bazzar's or a bakery.
E. These would be nice if packaged as gifts as well, good for people who dont have the time to fuss with recipes.
As far as prices go I would recommend checking what people are paying for these type of things on ebay, If its selling there and you have an account you can even search the completed listings to see what final price was and which ones are most popular.
Hope this is helpful to you!
Good Luck
