Why You Have Been Pricing Your Upcycled Finds All Wrong

About this episode

This episode discusses how to properly price upcycled items by establishing a non-negotiable floor price based on costs and desired profit margins.

You’re not too pricey or not talented; you’re pricing without a floor.Anchoring to what you paid or how long it took skews everything. This episode shows a calmer method: build a non negotiable floor from materials, packaging, fees and a minimum hourly, then add an honest value bump for style and demand. You gain clear numbers, fewer regrets, clearer messages to buyers, and the confidence to hold your price or improve the piece if the floor feels high.Try it on your next item: write the floor maths on the tag, list only if the bump feels right.Follow The 9-to-5 Escape Plan Podcast and pick up The Escape Plan Playbook, my powerful mindset workbook and planner... that helps you bring in extra money in a way that feels honest, grounded, and doable...Keywords: pricing, upcycling, reselling, margins, fees Get The Escape Plan Playbook HERE This episode includes AI-generated content.
