Alright, so i'm about to reveal what Joe and I have been up to in our spare hours lately, but first I want to tell how it all came about. So ever since Joe and I got married we have been really into reading. Whenever we can it's so much fun for us to get in bed early, turn on our lamps, and read. I wasn't much of a reader before I got married, but now I love it. Anyway, one day as we were reading I turned over to Joe and said wouldn't it be cool to go buy a nice bookmark, that we use with all of our books. It just sounded fun to have a really nice book mark, instead of using a reciept or something else laying around that we always used. He agreed and so we set out on our search. We went to a few different book stores, and honestly couldn't find any that we really liked that was worth the money. So we looked online and up came this idea from a website. They were these really cool bookmarks, and the more Joe studied them the more he realized that with the right tools (thanks to his grandpa's work shop) he could make them. Well it took a lot of trial and error, but we think we finally got it down. And here they are:
They are made out of copper metal (like the penny) and are flattened in the curving area if you can't tell from the picture. I'm not the best photographer
How they set in a book.
So we have made a few here and there and decided we would sell them for fun. And that's the question I am wanting to ask, if you were to come across these bookmarks how much would you pay for one? Honestly. We don't know what others would consider a fair and good price.
And if you would never buy one, it's okay, you dont have to comment :) haha

i dunno but I just want to say I love them they are gorgeous!
i don't read, cept for bloggs so i would say $1,000! Lol j/k but seriously maybe like $4...? again i don't read :)
I'm not sure how much I would pay...I would say around $5-$7 dollars. They look really nice though. :) Cool idea.
I would definitely buy one as a gift for a reader! I was going to say between $5-10. $10 would make me feel like I'd bought something "really nice", but if it were $5 I'd feel like I got a great deal. Maybe attach a different cool quote or saying about reading to each version of the bookmark. Just an idea. Did that help, or am I too wishy washy?!?
Those are really pretty. I would say around $5-7.
I have a bookmark like that and I LOVE IT! It was a gift to me on my mission and I keep it in my scriptures. I'm not sure how much it cost but they're definitely worth at least $5. I probably wouldn't pay $10 for it personally, but if you're selling them, look them up on etsy/ebay and look for similar products and pricing, then tell me how much you want because I'll probably buy one!
