#setting up a storefront is gonna be a touch more complicated than i thought im going to need a PO box i think #i live with my parents so giving out my actual address isnt a choice i can really make #but yeah after that it should be smooth sailing ive got the material cost figured out and an estimation of the shipping #then im just gonna have to figure out labor costs which i'll check the NY minimum wage and start from there #like i dont get tired fast when im doing it for fun but also like theres no deadline or need for it to be perfect yknow how it is #this is kinda neat im actually gonna sell my own work... :)#connor talks #idk i hope i get buyers its pretty good work i think #its just yknow people dont think homemade clothes are harder to make than fast fashion n stuff #just the material costs of a scarf is a lot when you use good thick yarn... like my trans flag scarf was a little over $30 #and shipping is annoying like deadass for my irls who are asking for scarves im delivering them in person its just easier #but like yeah i feel like apologizing when i say its gonna be $50+ but... it kinda has to be or its costing me to make ya feel #could make em smaller but that only shaves off probably 10-15 #im getting ahead of myself its okay to ask for the appropriate cost for a product i spent time making #capitalism brainrot... god #us poor folk are like damn i dont want to charge my neighbors so much meanwhile people b screwing us at every angle #well let this be assurance i guess that i dont want to screw y'all outta money i just wanna make some money on the side #ahhhh things are gonna be cool tho i know it...#its not often i get the satisfaction of making something for someone who truly wants what i have to give
