Cutting Boards For Sale $300
Making $300 cutting boards and friends.
I want to make a wooden cutting board and sell it for $300.
It would be made handcrafted from a high quality and beautiful wood. Reasonably rectangular and medium sized. This isn’t a cutting board for watermelons, it’s for apples and other smaller fruits & vegetables. This cutting board is beautiful enough to” accidentally” leave out on the counter when guests arrive.
If you think $300 for a medium size cutting board is is preposterous. I agree.
If you think $300 for a medium sized beautiful cutting board is reasonable, please contact me immediately.
So it sells for $300 with free shipping. Then I promptly give $250 to charity. The cutting board cost me $50 to make craft. After covering the shipping I’m negative. $15 per. It has to be this way, I’m only allocated so many wins and I’m not going to waste one on this.
But I’m not going to advertise it as a $300 cutting board with $250 of it going to charity. That must remain secret as I don’t want people to buy it for charity.
I want them to buy it because they want to buy it. And then I ask them why did you buy this cutting board. Not in a condescending way but in a very respectful way. And then they tell me everything. Then I tell them I’m not in the cutting board business for the money and they can have their money back or I can give it to charity. We become friends and then I have many friends in the $300 cutting board world.
Eventually they introduce me to the makers and buyers of $550 cutting boards and I wonder to myself how many levels are there to this. Do I belong in the $550 cutting board group?
I worry, what if I don’t like the people that spend $300 on cutting boards. What if they’re insufferable? What if I’m insufferable? I can’t dwell on this now, I have cutting boards to make craft.
Oh and none of this takes away from my time with my currently existing friends. Who I barely ever have any time to see. Somehow it just works out beautifully. Like these cutting boards.
