I was wondering, how much you should charge for a Bow Tucks type bag? I know you need to consider what you put into it but a lot of them that I have made is from material I either have had for a long time or some that was at a really low sale price.
Does $30 per bag sound like too much or too little? I have made some for friends and now their friends want one.

I would say it depends on what the local economy can handle. Well made with quality fabrics and stitching I say $50 is reasonable, here in S. Texas, I sell for $30, I don't make much profit but I don't think they would sell otherwise, maybe $35

It really depends on where you live and what the market will bear....however, $30 does sound like too little. There is a lady here locally who makes the reversible sun hats and charges $70 for them....they take less fabric and are less complex.

What people on this Board charge may not be relevant for you.
Location is a better determinant.
Prices are usually determined by what the traffic will bear.
If your friends' friends wouldn't pay more than $30 then you have to decide if that's enuf for your time and effort.
If they'd pay $50 - go for it
Good luck.
