First bowl sales, sort of

[Alan Weinberg]

I donated 3 hollow forms previously shown here to a charity auction for a cancer center. They all sold and for good $$, probably more than they were worth since it was for a good cause—$475, $550, and $575. I was really happy—hope the owners will be.

Good to hear. Those are good prices!

 

[Michael Anderson]

Excellent!! Nice work and prices!

Excellent!! Nice work and prices!

Great prices! You seem to really be enjoying branching out and trying new things!

Look out. Boxes next! You inspire.

That was great for your charity. I can't get a fraction of that price in my region. The only reason anyone ever comes up with to buy a hollow vessel is for cremation urns. My last sale of one of those was still purchased, but I was told my price of $250 was higher than the ones at the Funeral Home. They must be buying import urns now.

That's awesome, Alan.

Charity auctions are all about the winning bidder making their contribution to the cause and taking a trophy home. I've had $300 bowls go for 10X that in a bidding frenzy.

That is great and really great to raise that kind of money. Excellent work!

 

[Brad Campana]

Nice job on the hollow forms, and donating them to a good cause.

Exactly. I don’t kid myself that I could sell bowls for that much—which is why I titled thread the way I did and noted that people overpay to support their charity.

It's still a nice result. I know I'd be happy if I were in your shoes.
