bead jewelry... a few questions...

[cheer mom]

My friend makes pretty beaded jewelry. I'd like to help her sell it locally at a few local craft shows. How can we determine pricing? I know cost + labor, but it's hard to determine the cost since she already has lots of the supplies and beads come in packs and you mix the beads (different types/different prices). So, anybody have any ideas or suggestion?

Oh, and I hope this question is allowed. I am not selling anything yet and will not be selling online, heck we aren't even planning a website. Just local craft shows.

Best thing I can tell you to do is either check online to see what comparable items are selling for or check bead stores around your local area. Many times they will sell wares made out of materials that were bought at their stores and that will give you an idea of pricing. Ebay is always a good research place for getting started and selling.
