So, how much???

I am in the process of making some business that will, if everything works ok, give a few extra earth moneys. I'm going to sell something that i know by the name of "poys" (cool little things that'll give you tons of fun and is a good exercise for the mind).

These "poys" are a form of circus art (remember those things that people hang from a chain and then lit on fire to do some really cool things?). I have already learned a few tricks and just last Saturday, in a friend's B-day party I started playing with them alongside with Mariel, as out of nowhere people started approaching us so the could see and learn some moves. To my surprise some of these curious fellows and ladies asked me if could sell these things to them 'coz they were so entertained and willing to learn.

... a bright little light bulb appeared over my head.

I'll try and sell some "Poys" here in mexico an I'll take some more to Canada. What troubles me is what follows: how much should I charge for them?

I asked around and people have told me all kinda things. Blanco told me that he would be willing to pay 40 pesos (less that 4 dollars), but my brother told me that he could easily pay 100 pesos 'coz he is aware of the time and trouble I need to do them...

aha... am a little confused.


Blanco is a cheap meanie bastard (just kidding, not a bastard, he is well aware of who his dad is) and I really think that 40 pesos is very low 'coz of the materials cost and the time that it takes to do them (they are hand made), but on the other hand, my brother is a big mindless expender, and maybe 100 pesos is too much, and here in Mexico most people wont pay them that easily.

40 pesos is too low... so maybe 60 pesos, 50 at the very least???

I'll ask around...
