Interesting topic, I hope someone can answer a question for me...
I've only been carving a little over a year now and I've just started to carve bigger pieces. by bigger, I only mean between 1 and 3 feet max.
I'm getting people interested in my work but don't really know how to put a probable price to a piece. So somebody made me an offer, the offer was +/- 162$ total for five tiki's to sit on ("chairs", if you will) each one about 2 feet (60cm?) tall. Now, I didn't really know how to respond to such an offer, but eventhough I'm only a beginning carver I felt kinda offended.
(she would provide the wood)

Now I'm torn between accepting the offer, getting my work noticed more and in the process build a reputation for selling cheap pieces, or rejecting and sell nothing at all...

Money doesn't make friends

Hopefully someone in here can help me figure this one out
