WWIT -

That is so true, and why I didn't catch on earlier I don't know.   :hitfan:

All the bull about not knowing a lot of people being okay, and people will find you - I've had 1 person find me (via website), had 1 party w/ apx $150 order - oops, that doesn't qualify as a party now does it?  Then spent about $ 15 in gas, back & forth X 2 times (delivery counts!), so I may have 'made' $ 45 less samples for about 3 hours. 

She e-mailed me that she wanted to get a different color eyeliner soon, but for $ 5 (less about $15 in gas), I can't afford to take it to her!

Tam, aren't the eyeliners $10?  If you're selling at your cost to get rid of stuff, here's what I do: pick-up only + their % of the shipping charges (when I only charge 50%, they have to pay their own shipping b/c I'm not making a dime off it anyhow, and I explain that to my few remaining customers) or else they can pay my time + my gas for delivery (which is usually just a couple bucks less than retail), or I can mail it if they pay postage.  You can't incurr business expenses if you're selling it much lower than retail.  Hope that helps...  Love

Welcome lilchris and Tam.  I'm catching up on welcomes that were lost earlier this month.

Glad you found us and I see that you're already getting great advice.
