[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 161898, member: 88"][I]I know there are infinite variables when pricing, but assuming it's a fairly run of the mill item how does online pricing such as ebay or etsy translate to a retail store? [/I] In a nut shell, not always. Depending on the item there may be either no market or a very limited market for a particular item where your booth may be located. However, in an "ebay booth" you have the entire world potentially looking at this item, so you stand a somewhat better chance of finding the person or people in the market for said item & who are willing to pay for the item. There have been many things over the last 15 years that I would have either never sold or would have taken me years to sell here locally in Columbia, SC. However on ebay they not only sold but in a few instances sold for prices much higher than I would have ever imagined. JMHO Peggy[/QUOTE]
