I took the advice of friends and family and decided to sell some of my plant pot creations. I bought these pearl mugs yesterday to drill holes in and plant string of pearls in them. I’m going to add 5 holes in the bottom of each cup for adequate drainage. I need to go buy some string of pearls plants to add and think they are going to come out really cute! Trying to get a frame of reference for pricing from those who love string of pearls. If you saw one of these for sale, how much would you be willing to pay? I’m not one to spend much on cute unique things as I can oftentimes recreate my own version of them. I’m also not a huge spender myself, so I don’t want to over price them to the point people don’t want to buy them. Mugs are large and $5 each. I can probably find some full string of pearl plants from my local plant shops for $10-$15. Would selling them for $30 be too much? I’m going to sell locally on fb marketplace so shipping won’t be factored in. Thanks in advance for any input!

I did this but instead of the cup sitting, I put it on a hook so it could hang under my kitchen cabinets, looked like it was pouring pearls out of the coffee mug. It was so darn adorable. As far as pricing, I sell my 4in pots of pearls for $15 so I dont see $25-30 being a bad price, just really going to depend on whether folks want to buy what youve created or create their own. U can always start at whatever price u want and if u receive feedback of folks interested but saying they are priced too high for them, you could always be open to negotiating a price or just lower price a few dollars until u get them sold.
They sell string of plants for $20 at most places in California (my box stores and local nurseries) so $30 wouldn’t be too bad considering the pot is cute!
