Old School Bracelets

[shtonkalot]

I'm not quite sure how I plan to sell these....My boyfriend came up with the idea to sell them so maybe he'l come up with that idea too.
Maybe a paypal account or even money order would be fine.
If you have any suggestions let me know.

Really nice work, a perfect medium for making older low res sprites come to life.
Throwing out a suggestion for Sonic, not sure how it'd go but I'd love to see.

Paypal would work out well if you plan to sell to overseas peeps. I take it you're talking $20 Canadian, postage should be cheap on these but it would be good to get some prices for postage to various countries.. IE Australia.

I don't think you need to set up any store as such, the trade section here would work. I'm sure however if you put them up on eBay you'd sell them by the bunch.
Might be worth putting a couple up for auction there to get a sense of what people are willing to pay for them.

Again, that is really good. Can't wait to see more.

Whoa, really neat!
That's badass!

If I had the money I'd buy a MegaMan X one

 

[Neko]

I want a tutorial on how to make one myself.

Hehe.
These are looking good , I love the portal one. Nice work!

 

[Frampy]

Another Portal one....I think I should go back to doing school work now.

hopefully more to come....after homework....stupid homework.

Genius!
i would buy them if i saw them on sale

they look awesome
... um an 8-bit pit can't be hard .. no ?

 

[JPH]

You're really good at making those, they look awesome!

It would be nice if you'd open up a little shop or topic on the forum and sell these for like twenty dollars a bracelet or something

Not everyone is extremely wealthy like you JPH. I understand that a lot of labor goes into each one, but I think cost/revenue wise, $10 is still a lot. For $20, I wouldn't buy it even it they come with a time machine.

Liar! Time machines are easily worth $25 alone!

 

[Frampy]

I don't know what the price would be.....probably $15-$20 depending. $10 wouldn't cover my costs, the beads I use are good beads that are fairly expensive. I probably won't start selling them till I am done my school year.

 

[Psyfira]

Sounds about right, the cost mounts up by how many colours there are in the bracelet because each colour is sold as a separate pack. $10 would definitely be too low.

Perhaps if I can figure out a way to do this, I could start taking orders for the bracelets.

Maybe we could just do it thru the Trading Forum using Paypal or something?

Wealthy?
I'm 14 years old. No job. No regular allowance.

WTF.


10 dollars would definitely not be worth the efforts for him/her to make them.
20 seems fair, but we digress...

 

[TrolleyDave]

Those bracelets are pretty damned sweet. If you're girlfriend is serious about selling them tell her to look for a local crafts shop, they usually have a small section (well the good ones anyway) where people can sell their own stuff. The shop will probably charge you a tiny fee for it but it's pretty easy money as you don't have to go through the work of trying to get it sold. eBay would be a great to flog these as well, although if you put them up on eBay watch out for territorial sellers who will report you for copyright infringement. Most people won't care though.

 

[20X6]

Those look great!
You really should make a GBAtemp-themed bracelet.

 

[Xarsah16]

I think 20 bucks is fair, IMO. These bracelets are simply amazing and 100% accurate, which is a good thing too. They prolly take a long time to make also, and they're obviously hand-made, so for the cost of the beads and the work, 20 isn't too much to ask.

I wish I could produce something like that. Me is jealous.

 

[Sinkhead]

Sell them on the trading forum (I would definitely buy one)

I think $20 is a fair price, maybe $25 if it's a request.

 

[JKR Firefox]

Well we've made a decision and it seems that as soon as my girlfriend is done with her school work, we're going to start taking requests and selling the bracelets/bookmarks/etc. in the trading forum

Should be in about a month or so depending on how quick she gets everything done.

 

[Turmoil]

LoL I thought this was going to be a post about slap bands, can anyone remember them?

Anways this is even better, they all look so cool, very nice Frampy.

 

[hanman]

those are pretty awesome!

i'd buy one, but i don't think i'd be comfortable wearing a bracelet

My GF has been making these 'video-game' themed bracelets using a beadloom I bought her for Christmas. Here are some examples:

Super Mario Bros. 3

Old School Mario

Mushrooms!

Do you guys have any more ideas on themes she could use and would you buy these if you saw them for sale?

Note: Not attempting to sell anything...just getting a lock on people's opinions.

You got one cool girlfriend
