Is she overcharging?

A woman is selling those no-sew tie fleece blankets.
She wants 25 dollars for one, or 65 dollars for three.
It seems steep for what they are. What do you think?

No, I think thats a good price. Considering fabric starts out a around $5 a yard. If she uses a more expensive fabric shes basically making them for free.

I bought a kit to do it myself and it was $20.on sale. I think that's more than fait

Actually that sounds pretty fair. IDK where you live but the craft stores around here sell the kits for $15-$20 for a decent sized blanket.

It think it depends on how big they are... the one I made wasn't as cheap as I thought it would be. Plus she is putting her time into it and has to make a profit somehow.

How big are they? The material isn't cheap.. its anywhere from 7.99/10.99 per yard here. So making one costs me 16 bucks minimum just in material for one yard .

Yeah but those this are super easy to make. So I would never pay that much for one.

That's fair. Fleece can be pretty pricey, and those things are time consuming.

No. At the store the kits sell for $30-$32. And even though she don't have to see it, she has to measure and cut so it's an even shape and pay for the fabric.

How big are the blankets?
It's a reasonable price, fleece can be pricey.

They sell the kits at Walmart for like 25 bucks so depending on how big etc it's probably a fair price
quoteposted 5th Mar
Definitely sounds like a fair price to me..
