Prices

You'll have to inquire as there are so many variables that effect what kind of deal I might give you. Some items can be discounted if you buy volume or  if I have a lot or am the source and my costs are low. Other items are a bargain at listed price and the price marked is with other artists in mind. Some items can be half off the listed price if you are in business - especially my finished art work if you incorporate it in your own work to resell.

Qualifying for wholesale prices
Being in business with plans to resell my work and or  with the intent to buy in quantity is the basic loose  guideline. I do not ask for proof unless I have reason to suspect someone is trying to scam me. If you are a hobby person creating a personal item or gift and this is a one time purchase you do not qualify for wholesale. You can ask for a discount if you  buy volumn. Hobby work,  as long as you are reselling qualifies. .
