Just the fact that I got a response form someone after looking in the regular forums for a few days is amazing and encouraging in itself.
Thank you so much. heart

they're cute, but I'm really quite rubbish at pricing. I have a suggestion though :]
When I started my first art shop, I didn't set prices, I just said "Bribe Me"

..sometimes the bribes may be a lot higher than you anticipated xD

I think the previous suggestions are really good. Possibly in-between the two where there's a big difference in pricing suggestions. Doing a bribe (as suggested above) or maybe holding an art auction might be another great way to see how much Gaians are willing to pay. At the same time, people can be cheap, so don't let low-ball offers get you down!

And, as you grow as an artist and become even more wonderful than you are now, I say don't be afraid to increase prices to match. Just, you know, do it carefully... and don't go overboard.

(I've had a trade for 350k with an artist tied up for months.)
