I'd try it. If things don't sell I'd get rid of them on etsy & craigslist.
Anyone have ideas / pointers / tips. Most stuff on the web is geared for
clothing/jewerly ... So I thought I'd ask this group.


Don't worry about being "over priced."
You might be surprised at what people will pay.
You can have 2 similar items in 2 different booths at shows like that
and people will buy the higher priced one because they just assume it
must be better because it's priced higher.

You can always lower your price if you're not selling well.
But you can't go back and raise your prices if you sold out of
everything on the first day. :-)
