Thank you for including the cost of your time. I see so many flippers who only include the price of their materials in their profit margin and never consider the cost of their time. I appreciate all your tips here.
You are so welcome!
You’re literally so humble and helpful super refreshing
Thank you so much for all your help on starting a business with flipping furniture and selling it. Between your youtube channel and Salvaged by K. Scott channel I now feel I have the two best teachers and women to inspire me and give me the feeling that I can do this and have fun too :). Thank you above and beyond! 💞🙌
Thank you so much for posting this! SO much good information here--a lot of details I had been curious about, but wasn't sure exactly who (or even what) to ask. I appreciate this!
Yessss, more videos like this please. These were great, honest tips!
I would be interested in how to price custom pieces and any other tips that you may have. Also, I loved your very informative video.😊
Will do! Thank you.
Hi I just discovered your channel. Did you end up doing the pricing custom pieces video?
@@eamannal-azem2991 She did, just watched it! She also has a template you can download from her website :)
@Annalises Pieces where is the template at? I have been looking for it ever since she announced it and I STILL CANT FIND IT. this us the first I've heard though of her website. Sooo frustrating.

This was SO helpful! As I've been watching your videos and getting motivated to do the same, I've been wondering how the business side works. Great video!
I have flipped furniture for over twenty years, but still find interesting tips on your videos. The tip of how to extend a leg with the little wooden wheels is one I can use next week. Thanks.
I started flipping furniture and made a RUclips video all about my first month on the biz lol thanks so much for the inspiration! Stay Flipping!
Yes. Please do more pricing and business videos. LOVE your channel best, Christina!!!

Thank you! Just watching your video has given me so much more confidence to sell my pieces that are just sitting in my workshop. Something has been just holding me back from actually putting myself out there and listing my stuff...so thank you! Not everyone is as open for some reason so I for one appreciate it. Super helpful in me breaking through this fear or intimidation I've been feeling.
Wonderful!
I love your videos. Thanks so much for the pro tips and the encouragement!
Love the info. Especially appreciate the spreadsheet you use to calculate price of item. I would love to hear how you come up with what to charge for consignment work. Thank you!

You are seriously the best!! I have a few more pieces of my own to paint until I’m ready to take the leap into selling! This just made me 10 times more excited🥰
I love this! Thank you. Can't wait to see how it goes for you.
I know EXACTLY what you mean! Me too!
Thank you Christina for the great tips! I buy a lot of furniture to refinish on FBM and it amazes me how so many sellers don’t even put measurements in description! To me it’s maddening😉...like first thing I say ...measurements? Interesting that you suggest super detailed descriptions ( I happen to agree with you!) I have heard others say...nobody cares what all you did to piece etc....glad to hear you say...do that! Love all your videos...definitely interested in seeing more like this...your experience is valuable! Thank you for sharing😊k
This is just the way I do it, and I've had some success so I wanted to share. I say the more details the better!
Absolutely Agree...was happy to hear you say it bc people want everything for nothing! They have no clue as to the work that goes into a piece!
Christina, thanks for being so transparent with your process...super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much, I'm so happy you did this! Very, very helpful 🤗
Glad it was helpful!
I'm very interested in your next video about invoicing etc... thanks for making this video by the way. It's just what I've been needing.

Thank you so much for both videos, they were very helpful! I love your channel. You and Katie inspired me to start furniture painting. What's the best way to estimate how long it will take to paint furniture, is it according to size? Thanks again and keep up the great content!!!
I would be very interested in a video on how you price a custom piece for a client!
Coming soon!
@@ChristinaMuscari me too please!
Interested in pricing custom pieces

You got it!
@@ChristinaMuscari yes please!
Thanks very much for sharing this, so helpful and well laid out!
Glad it was helpful!
Great info shared! The best tip I ever got from you was to stage the photos of the pieces.. my items started selling way quicker and it really just takes an extra 5 mins and attention to detail :)
Great tip!
Love this! I just started refinishing furniture and trying to grow my RUclips channel from South Jersey! Thank you for the help.
this video has been extremely helpful!
Great video. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise on pricing and selling! You are very generous and I appreciate it greatly. I am new to this and need all the help I can get.
You are so welcome!
Great stuff! Thank you so much!
Thanks for all the great tips!
Loved this!! Thank you so much. I love info like this
You're welcome!
Thank you for the great information!
Enjoyed very much. Just starting and very helpful info
Very informative video. Many thanks Christina. Kind regards from England.
Yes! Thanks for this informative post. I have painted furniture for myself and a couple of friends but didn't have a clue how much to charge. Hope you do more of these kind of videos! My biggest issue is moving the pieces. Im 67 yrs old and live alone, so my furniture dolly is my best friend 😍
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Christina thank you that was very helpful for me because I won’t of know how to sell or pricing my projects.
Thank you. I haven’t start any painting yet but I did buy a a piece with I need to start it on soon to see how I go in selling it 😀👍🏻
Thank you for this informative video. I’m pretty new at repurposing/upcycling furniture. I have used OfferUp and FB market Place mostly for my sales. I have noticed for my state, CO, the farmhouse, country farm house, done in white or gray distressed, seems to sell the quickest. I really like trying to do different colors, with maybe stencils and transfers, but I feel the labor that goes into these pieces, warrants another sales site like maybe Etsy to sell. Customers just don’t seem to want to pay the price here. I would love you to do a video on doing commissioned pieces, as I’ve thought about that.
I believe one has to have a lot of confidence in their work to take that on however, a bit scary if you mess it up, especially if it’s a loved piece from their home they’ve brought to you. Love your videos and work. Thanks again
Wow! This helps a lot. I recently sold my first piece on FB Marketplace. I like how you broke down the expenses. I would love to hear a vlog on how you obtain and charge your clients. Thank you kindly for sharing your valuable experience!
Glad it was helpful!
YES! These type of how to market your stuff videos are very much needed & appreciated. I'd like to know how much is too much to spend on a piece to be able to reasonably sell at a profit? Best places you have found/bought your furniture? What kind of pieces sell best? I'm sure I have a dozen more questions that I'll think of later..... Thanks again for your help.
Thanks!
This is a great video, full of honest and applicable info. Thanks for sharing would love to see more as I'm just starting to thin down in order to paint more.👩🏻🎨💕🎨🐨🇦🇺
More to come!
this video was extremely helpful! thank you!
Loved the video! Great information and yes more business type videos would be great!
Awesome! Thank you!
around the 10:00 mark she is 100% correct. Do not answer with "yes it is available" ... i'll go a step further than Christina. I worked in sales for nearly 10 years and first rule of thumb is never let the customer answer with a simple yes or no. You want them to make a commitment. So if they write, "Is this still available", you can respond with "yes. what day and time would you like to come see it"
Great info! I got some new ideas to add to my listings. I would definitely love more coverage on how to price customs so I can really promote my business without hemming and hawing about how much. Thanks!
Great video. Thank you!
Super helpful tips! Thank You!
Yes please! Very interested in guidance on pricing custom projects please! Love your work :)
Noted!
Thankyou so much for sharing this information with us. I'm just starting out selling furniture. So this is really informative.
You are so welcome!
Great information! Thank you for all the tips. Would be very interested in a video on pricing custom pieces.

Kacha and You Rock. I bought a sideboard to hopefully sell on but need to buy some paint.
You’re very informative. Thank you 😊
Love ❤️ this video!!!! I just came upon your RUclips channel and love all of your information!!! Love Dixie Belle too!!!!🥰
Thanks for subbing!
Great video ! I just started painting furniture, and have learned so much online. I def don’t want to sell for a while , due to the fact that I have MANY of my own pieces that I am painting . Literally like 5 at the moment ! I am trying to make our home French country all over . I am so picky with expensive taste , so what better to be able to make it my own color and look . I am looking for some used French country furniture at the moment that I can make over . Anyway thank you for all your great advice on selling pieces ❤
It would be so helpful if you did a video on software invoicing, etc. Thank you. You’re amazing!
Hi Christina, thank you for this video. I am very interested in learning to price and sell custom painted furniture.
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I have been struggling with how to create a pricing system.
Do you also have a way of keeping a record of inventory? That would help out a lot!!!
Excellent ideas. Thank you
Great information! Love your work.
Thank you!
This is great information and yes, I would be interested in more of this type of video
You got it!
I’m so excited to start on a dresser drawer and coffee table I have! I’m just so nervous about what color to choose 🤦🏻♀️😂
