Any suggestions for pricing the wholesale or consignment market? 

 Hi there, beadwacky! Welcome to our forums.

Wholesale is typically 1/2 of retail. Consignment varies with 60/40 being the most common split.

You need to establish a retail selling price at which the goods actually sell before you decide on a wholesale price.  

We've had several good threads recently about pricing or calculating the retail selling price in this forum and in the Bead and Button forum. 3x to 5x the total cost of materials is a common method to get the retail price. If I get a chance I'll search for those threads and post links to them back here. They are recent enough threads to still show in the list of threads.

Great screen name,  by the way!!!

 Here's a fewlinks

They were all really easy to find using the search community box. Questions like this often get more answers in the Help how do I or Help where can I find or Bead talk sections. 

What do you mean by threads?  Are you talking about regular thread? the one you sew with?  I am new at beading and I am not sure in what context you are using the word "threads".

Have a great one!!

Juanita,

 Here, "thread" means an online forum topic.

The new terms can be confusing. I did not know what that meant for quite a long time.

 Thanks,  Ballerina, for expalining the tech-y words I throw around. I've been hanging around these forums so long I forget to explain what some of the abbreviations and common terms mean. LBS is another one you will see a lot. LBS means Local Bead Store - a great place to learn about beads and beading.

The good "threads" I mentioned are the groups of posted messages I gave links to in my 2nd message.

There are some FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions) at the top of theforum when  you first get here. They can be very helpful. http://cs.beadstylemag.com/bdscs/faq/default.aspx is the link into the FAQ's.

You are very welcome! Oh see I never knew what "LBS" meant! Thanks for clearing that up for me!

You are very welcome! I did not know what "LBS" meant. Thanks!
