I made a 2019 wall calendar that is 11" X 17" high when hung.
Each month has an 11" X 8.5" glossy color photo of a CLASSIC
HOLSTER by Myres, or Heiser, or Lawrence, or Brill, or Gaylord,
or Seventrees, or Berns-Martin, or Eubanks, or Red Nichols.
They are shown with S&W revolvers, and a couple of Colts, knives,
and other accessories. (Suitable for framing IMHO)

It has been suggested that I offer them for sale here in the
classifieds. My quandry is when I got the price from my printer
I was stunned. Maybe it's just me. That's why I need some
opinions. What is the highest price I could reasonably ask for
them including first class postage and a modest profit for my
time and effort? I know what my number must be.

That is the Karma. Whoever guesses my number, or closest to
it, wins a calendar. Deadline is midnight Mountain Time, Friday,
August 10th. Winner will be announced Saturday AM.

THIS IS NOT AN OFFER TO SELL. If I decide to go ahead, I
will post them in the classifieds. Thank you.

$10.
If you don't sell them, please post it.
The only photo I ever sold is on a calendar.
I passed the calendars around until folks kept saying,
Hey - You do know it's no longer 2011?
 
Wall calendar's....glossy photo's....Hummmmmmmmm...cost plus profit and at a price that would sell to recoup your cost....Hummmmmmmmm....

I would venture a guess (depending on profit wanted) $9.95 or you stand the chance of not selling many......

I have a 17 by 36 on my wall now...no photo...but multi color..paid $2.69 plus tax.....
 
Being a tightwad, I'd come closer to paying $10.00 than any more. At that price, I don't see how you'll see any profit. I remember when calendars were free - ancient times.
 
Keep the opinions coming. I think they are very helpful.
And thanks to all you who have entered. Good luck!
 
It all depends on if the pictures show sexy models posing with the holsters.??


"As seen on the Internet" ACT NOW. Operators are standing by, have your credit card handy.



But wait if you order now, get TWO, yes TWO calendars for only $19.95!! (just pay additional S/H)
 
Sorry, no sexy girls in the photos, but some pretty sexy leather.
Sorry, no credit cards either. No S&H green stamps or coupons.
No operator on duty, and you don't have to ACT NOW. It's a long
time til 2019.
And if you buy two, you will just need to pay for two.
I would never make it as a TV hustler.
 
I get free calendars every year too. I already have a 2019 calendar
from the DAV (Disabled American Veterans). Beautiful patriotic photos.
(I guess it's not really free. I send them money every month.)

I'm sure there will be other "free" ones come in before the end of 2018.
But my calendar is quite specialized, featuring classic leather holsters,
handguns, and other accessories. Made with a specific audience in mind.

Thanks to all who have given opinions. Keep them coming. Deadline
is midnight (Mountain Time) Friday.
 
Thanks for that RW. If I decide to sell them I will personally handle, and
autograph, each one. Maybe some leather scent will come off my fingers
onto the calendar.
 
When I looked at the cost of having custom calendars printed I was pretty shocked, too! I expect you're better off investing the money in a color printer that doesn't have cartridges that cost more than the machine itself to replace (I had one) unless you're expecting to be run off your feet with orders. The one you sent me (thank you!) seemed to have been running out of one of the four colors so was very red.
 
What a cool idea!

$17.76 sounds about right. I hope...
