3-D Fly

I dont think they lasered them, It was a router if I remember right. I tried our co2 laser engraver on a cd it sure made some nice fireworks! meaning the cds didnt cut well..

Hey twicecustom, I just "lasered" on the rear of mirror. It turned out nice!!

I was looking at $300 for the Dragonfly and $250 for the Butterfly

I found these on the Web for between $125 and $175, which is still leaves a good profit IMHO, although there might be a SMALL market for them, and you won't sell much.

This pricing seems a lot more realistic. I'm not sure what I'll sell the 4' wing span Dragonflies for but I don't think it'll be $500.

Another favorite response is, "Looks like something I could get at Home Depot for $20, would you take $15?" I typically then slit their throats, cut them up with a chain saw and send their body parts home to family members in boxes via FED-EX.... And then I quickly snap out of my daydream, wipe the off my face smile and politely say, "I need a little more than that but if I get hard up for cash I'll get with you and maybe we can work something out."

When I get this line, I just say Five bucks isn't much, so how about you just give me that much.
They say 'that's better' and start to pick up the piece. That's when I say 'Oh, I'm not selling the piece for that - you just give me five dollars. After all, that's what you're asking ME to do'.
Then I wake up with a satisfying memory of the dream.

I have ZERO tolerance for dickering. If a customer won't pay my asking price, the item is no longer for sale (to them). I don't want the word getting around that counter-offers are acceptable. I am not running a garage sale for stuff I want to get rid of.

When someone gasps at the price of some of my art I just politely say, Apparently you don't want one but someone else will. You gotta remember the average person doesn't have a clue how you design, cut, and weld your artwork and they are used to the stuff they can buy at Walmart or other discount stores that import Chinese products. When I first started my business over 10 years ago I knew that I wouldn't be erecting golden arches that say "Over 1 billion sold". Be sure and stand your ground on your prices and don't let people dicker with you. Most of you are very talented and you deserve a fair price for your work.

Put some effort and faith into your ability to judge the character of your customers. Also their willingness to learn about what we do, and pass it on.

I've had a few customers who have shown a sincere desire to do so and this has worked extremely well;

They are invited to come into the shop and participate in the creation of their piece from start to finish. It's amazing to see how much respect you get after they get an first-hand understanding of what it takes. If you're lucky enough to find one who is established in the 'right circles', the word gets around quickly. Too many people think that we just copy a picture from the internet into a computer and push a 'start button'.

[gr33ko]

Maybe we should take our laptop or something with and just loop a video of the manufacturing process so they can see first hand what we have to go through to get to the final product. Let them watch the video and see if that lowball offer still stands. I doubt it will.

[twicecustom]

actually they didn't laser them, they used an end mill on a cnc router. I tried to cut a cd with my laser and it was a sight to see with all the smoke and sparks.

[tirediron]

Here are some 3d ants that I just cut. My resident photographer had this set up.

Does anyone know where I can purchase the butterfly DXF ?

The butterfly was on here several years ago, I cut one in 2009 so you may need to look back a ways.

P.S. If you still can not find one PM me with your email included and I'll send you one, OK.
