		<description>Your prices sound very reasonable. But there's one thing you did not include in your calculations - the time required to complete each bracelet. Your real profit would be what is left over after you deduct the cost of supplies and time. None of us who make jewelry can charge the way plumbers do - $80 an hour, or so - but do allow yourself at least minimum wage when you're calculating costs. That way you won't be working free - even for yourself.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>that sounds like a good price, but remember you ebay &#38; paypal fees are around 13% of your sale price, at least for me. so whatever price you want for them add those fees into it also&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;ebay seller</description>

		<description>A good rule of thumb for pricing handmade goods is &#34;three times the cost of your supplies.&#34;  With this formula, you should probably charge about $5.- to $5.50 per bracelet, plus your real cost for shipping and packaging.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;I make and sell jewelry, too.
