How to Price Concrete Stepping Stones to Sell

Selling stepping stones can be quite profitable if you have molds, since concrete is inexpensive. If you enjoy making garden stepping stones and have extras to sell, it can be tricky setting the prices. Consider how much time and money you have invested in your stepping stones? What is your time and energy worth? How quickly do you want to sell them? Ask yourself, 'if it were me, how much would I pay?' Where and to whom you are selling stepping stones can make a huge difference in your pricing.

  Click on advanced search and then click on completed listings. Type "concrete stepping stones" or just "stepping stones" in the search bar. Notice that some of the listings are for molds rather than completed stepping stones.

  Scroll through the completed listings and find out how well comparable stepping stones sell and for how much. This gives you a general idea of pricing. Keep in mind, it costs up to $10 to ship them, so they may not be selling like hotcakes.

  Decide where you are selling your stepping stones. If you have monthly garage sales, bargain hunters may admire your stepping stones, but insult you with low-ball offers. Explain that a lot of work goes into making high-quality concrete stepping stones and that molds are not cheap.

  Check stepping stone pricing at local stores. If you find a store in which to display and sell your stepping stones, price them comparably, but slightly cheaper than the competition. Keep in mind, major home improvement stores sell plain, factory-made 12-inch-by-12-inch round stepping stones for less than $2.

  Set your price high and give it a week or two, when selling original stepping stones at a store or garden center. Lower the price and mark them as "on sale," if they do not sell quick enough.
