I don't really have set prices, because here in the DR, people haggle you to death!

But the wooden and gemstone necklaces are $6. The fimo bead necklaces and the rope chockers are $5. Wooden bracelets and mayan bracelets are $4. Wish bracelets are $3. Spiders are $3. The first sterling silver ring is $15 and the skinny silver rings are $5. The foot lace ups are $6. At least those are the prices that my friend was selling them for in her shop.

The spiders are cool...

probably should move the sales info to the classifieds thread, leave the story here...

**benna2** · 04-13-2006, 11:05 AM

I didn't want to put the last post into the classifieds because I am not looking to sell them to other tpunks...I'm going to be selling the jewellry here in the DR. I just posted the prices because jamiepeaski was curious...

**bluepea** · 04-13-2006, 11:43 AM

Anyhow, I'll pm ya soon.

Benna that was a really nice thing you did... You're really a nice person and that's good karma for you

I... love those rope chokers.... two please!!

I think if you set up a small display in your condo office...you should be able to liquidate all that in due time!

**SuDz** · 04-17-2006, 08:19 AM

Yeah you could sell it off. You gotta figure your dealing with tourists. They want to bring something home to friends and family. They will probably grab it and tell them it is "Authentic DR Jewelry" or something like that if you put a little sign saying that it is made by a local artist on the island yada yadda yadda.

I am not really a good wheeler dealer...so I haven't been peddling the jewellry along the beach or anything.

BUT I did make a nice sale today. $120!! To a biker guy named Red. He bought a bunch of stuff for his granddaughters!

Anyway...it made me happy.

**florencia9699** · 05-02-2006, 07:46 PM

Hey! That's really good!! see? not all is bad this week... you'll see things will get better from here... You've got too much good karma... it's going to start kicking in soon. But just in case, keep one of these

close...

**bellelass** · 05-02-2006, 08:06 PM

I have so much of that sort of stuff. Wear it a lot. The hippies here in austin have their street market.
