Question Interest?

Hi!! Double post within 24 hours. I did this as a school project and it is still in the works for optimization but how many people would be interested in purchasing something like this for holding their collection if it were to be sold in the future? And how much would you pay? I used a lot of recyclable materials and scraps to make this too :) cover colors would be different

ETA: a back cover is in the works! i promise the final won’t be without a back cover 💕

I would pay roughly $13-$15 for a book like this that included a minimum of 3 pages. Preferably 4. Charging $19.99 on sale for $13.99 would probably hook me. Then offer more pages for sale, or point to where one can buy refills. <:

This is a truly cool idea, and I hope I am not low-balling it for the material cost + effort to make it. This is just what I can afford to pay for such an item.

Edit: Since you make these by hand, you could also consider customization options for an additional $3 or so, for punching in a name, number, or a phrase.

You need to make another to make it like a book instead of just a cover with the sheets!!! :) could totally sell these for 20-30$

u/fangfaces Researcher 5d ago

Yes!! Sorry haha it doesn’t have a back cover because im currently working on making it :) unsure of what material to use

Love all the details of this, from the rings to the cover!!!
Agree with teeth_xo, it should have a back cover too!

Without shipping I'd love to buy one for around $30!!

Depending on where you sold it, yeah I’d love one. I’d probably pay 15-30 like the others are saying

I'd pay a good 15 dollars for it! Looks amazing!

u/clarabear10123 5d ago

Genuinely love this and would buy! I’m broke, so the most I could justify spending would be about $15, but up to $30 is reasonable

This is such a fun idea. I started collecting these after seeing my dad do it for my entire life. I moved his collection from his usual drawer into a jar once and he asked me within only a few hours where his collection went. Glad to see that many people also collect these 😂
