Pricing fine chocolates
Hello RFCers!
I've been Googling around "pricing fine chocolates saint Louis MO" and I got a few rough prices per LB: See's: 1lb- $26/lb 5lb- $130 Price's: 15oz- $30 William Sonoma: WOW!! Stupid expensive!! Like $100/lb or more! I think I'm gonna charge like $20 for 1/2lb (4 cherries) and $40 for a full lb (8 cherries), and I have to see how much shipping is! What thinks RFC?

Â* I think I'll stay with the cherry chocolates from Walmart for $2.50 for a box of 10 . I also think you're ****in' insane to think anybody is going to pay $2.50 EACH for mediocre home made chocolates . -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

I wouldn't pay that either but anything sold by Walmart will be a science project that makes you light up in the dark and grow a testicle on your forehead. |

I Invented them, so if you don't want the best Chocolate Covered Cherry, OK! More for the rest of us! After all, they are 4oz EACH! Mostly by weight chocolate. Real Dark Chocolate, 54%.

Speaking of Walmart: anyone watching Golden Globes? The new Walmart commercials ("no matter what
you drive....") have blown me away. So inventive, and so unlike Walmart's usual. Good for them, even if I am never a customer. N. |

Had one once when my MIL bought them. It was nasty. Now you may not want to pay John's price, I understand that, but to call them mediocre when you never saw or ate one is wrong too. They are much larger than the typical ones in the stores. |

I'll never forget once at a boating takeout on or near Christmas and someone had a box of those nasty CCCs and was passing them out to folks and my nephew and I both took one and after the passer was away from us, as we were standing near the campfire my nephew tossed his cheap CCC into the fire declaring "I will not eat an inferior chocolate covered cherry!" > > Now you may not want to pay John's price, I understand that, but to call > them mediocre when you never saw or ate one is wrong too.

Small box, 4 cherries: 5.6oz. Large box 8 cherries 10.25oz. I'll adjust my prices later. It's late tonight and I'll think about it tomorrow, or whenever! Maybe $20 for the large box, eight cherries 10.25oz and $10 for the small, four cherries 5.6oz? Seem fair? John Kuthe, KutheChocolates.com... |

I don't know which brand of WM chocolates you got , these are Queen Anne branded and really are quite good . I get the dark chocolate variety , don't know what the milk choc ones are like . I don't eat a lot of candy , mostly dark chocolate and these things . But we do love our cakes and cookies ... -- Snag Yes , I'm old and crochety - and armed . Get outta my woods ! |

(: > Our government is managing quite well at not making a profit on marijuana. They legalized recreational pot back in October and figured that would be a way to reduce crime associated with the black market and allow them to tax it. It is currently available for sale only online. Today is the day that the province is accepting applications for the 25 retail outlets that it will issue by lottery. The reason that they are only issuing 25 licenses is that there is not enough supply to license anymore stores. Meanwhile, they have announced a crackdown on the unlicensed outlets who seem not to have a supply problem. They have also decided that pot should sell for $10 per gram and then a tax on top of that, plus sales tax. Given the high price and the small number of outlets, I don't see how they expect to put the black market out of business. |

If you want to conquer the international market, perhaps it's time to eschew your quaint US metrics and switch to grams. The pricing seems fair considering the positive reviews seen here. You don't mention shipping though. Presumably the large format is not close to the limit imposed by the law of diminishing returns since your prices per weight in both formats are quite close. -- http://mduffy.x10host.com/index.htm |

Definitely the ridiculous size. Need to hook a canteen on your belt to shop there. Rollerblades or skateboard would work well too. They wouldn't like those but good luck to any employee trying to chase you down. lol What other complaints do you remember that I've made? I think that's it. Many complain that all they sell is junk. That's not true at all. |

They want to be to PAY for using Wordpress, which I do NOT want to pay for! I had to pay Godaddy for the domain name AND server space on a GoDaddy server, which I understand because I do NOT want to host the KutheChocolates.org website on a 24x7x365 server in my house! > > And many .whatevers don't make a profit anyway.

Many complain that all they sell is junk. That's not > true at all. The first time I was in the Walmart in Honolulu, I was mesmerized - it was so huge. I suppose they sell some junk but so do all stores. Mostly, they sell stuff you want or stuff you need to get a job done. It's the stuff you use for a while or stuff you consume. That is the nature of stuff. The only things that I have that's not stuff is my wife and some guitars. I would like to keep them with me for as long as I can, please. So far, so good... When I go into a Walmart it is because there's stuff that I need although I usually end up getting some junk that I don't need, or even want. Such is the nature of the business of Walmart. A lot of it is shopping on a recreational level. The Walmart in Honolulu is typically filled with palefaces from the East and West. Evidently, it is a tourist destination. If you want a tan, you can go to Waikiki beach, it you want to be mesmerized, if you want to be awestruck, you can go to the Walmart in Honolulu. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkD11962_ZU |
