Can you make a living from Dollhouses ?
I've been looking at evolving my hobby into a business. I have noticed these
things about the market for 'Dollhouses' here in Tasmania, Australia; 1. Once somone has a quality dollhouse, its theirs for life... so that $200 to $900 dollar one off sale gets the customer ready for collecting but thats it. 2. The Good Furniture is so expensive that you simply wouldn't let a young human play with them... so do you market furniture as a Collectable ? 3. The Margin on Kids 'simple' houses and furniture kits is so small that I can't see any money there. 4. Could you create enough interesting "Do It Yourself Kits" and Components to sustain a mail order business from people wanting to make their own dollhouses ? I am very interested in any constructive thoughts anyone may have... I just don't want to work for anyone else ever again and would love to be able to make a living out of my enthusiasm for Dollhouses. Tony |

Tony As long as you can live on five cents per hour, you can make a living in making miniatures. Satisfaction with ten cents per hour will see you a successful retailer of other peoples product. BTDT and couldn't even score the T shirt. |
