my campaign to stop john scott is on hold
last night i rediscovered my love for lighter making. i had a free hour at work and decided that i am going to get a booth at the melrose trading post (the flee market held every sunday to raise money for fairfax high school) and see if these babies are as hot as i think they are. with betsy as my unwilling partner, i plan to create and attempt to sell 50 lighters. i need friends of Duck or HILSWEPBIC to let me know how much you would pay for such an original creation. my problem is as follows: the booth will cost $35...and each lighter runs about $1.20 (five pack from target). However, if i buy a 50 pack on e-bay, i can reduce the cost to about $.50 a lighter. i figure i can try to sell them for $4 each or 3 for $10. any thoughts?

Three for $10 sounds like a good deal, especially when juxtaposed with the $4 for one price. Even at $4, the difference of $2.80 for an art-covered lighter compared to a plain lighter is exceedingly generous. Also, I wouldn't plan on staying at the flea market forever: some boutique owner will come by one of these weekends and make you an offer on 50 lighters a week for the rest of your life. Clear sailing, my friend, clear sailing.
