Etsy Online Labs

This video was particularly inspirational. It immediately made me reconsider my pricing methods.

When I first started selling my jewelry about 13 years ago, I was very confident about my prices. When I started bringing my jewelry to consignment shops, I was told by some that my jewelry was priced too high. Other shops told me, "Hey, don't worry about our prices, worry about your prices. Price your jewelry at what ever seems fair to you."

 I unfortunately only heard the shops who told me that my prices were too high. I think that when those shops told me that my prices were too high- is when I should have shook their hands, thanked then for their time and went about with my business. Instead, I let it shatter my confidence and I let myself lower my prices ridiculously. Never again.

If you are feeling conflicted about your price method, watch this video.
