How much should I sell framed photographs for at a field show?

[Stuart Bailey]

Hello people of DPS,

My girlfriend and I are going to have a stall at a field show in Kent, UK. These shows are for small businesses to sell their products and promote their work.

We are planning to sell a few photographs. We're going to print them at A3 size and frame them up nicely in about an A2 or maybe A1 size frames.

How much do you think we should sell them for? This is the first time we have ever done something like this.
We saw some similar photographs at a small shop in Kent and they were going for £100-£250.
Is this too much to sell them for? I was thinking maybe put them up for £80 then knock them down to a minimum of £30 if they're not selling.

Any thoughts? Help is very much apreciated.


Some of the photographs we are going to sell are these:
Broken Barn (Black & White) on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Beach Bird Watcher on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Paw Prints on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Windmill on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Train Line on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Beach Sheds on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
Broken Farm Hut on Flickr - Photo Sharing!


Thanks you.

Well, it depends on who you expect to be at this field show.
If artsy type people will be there, you could charge between 80 and 200.
If rich artsy types will be there you could probably charge 200-400.
If it will mostly be your average "Joe", you could get somewhere on the low end of 40-80.

That's how it works around here, not sure if this helps you, being in England.............

I sold some framed 8x10" photos at a fair during the holidays last year. I charged $30 (USD).
I also donated one to the silent auction, it went for twice the amount I
was charging (keep in mind, most stuff went for half the price the vendor charged).
Everyone told me to raise my prices! I think I will charge $50-60 (USD) this year.
