I just put up my first KittyCat store thinking I should finally start to try to make back a little of what I've spent. I used the "KittyCat Calculator" to decide upon pricing, but as I look around at the other vendors, I feel as if my kitties are generally priced far above those in other shops. So I guess this isn't a good indicator of what I should be charging, anymore. Grrr, I might actually have to do some research; imagine that!

I especially found useful the posts about combining traits to create a beautiful cat, not just a cat with all the latest traits. That seems really spot-on to me, and definitely something that would be appreciated by most, as opposed to combining new and less dominant traits. More people find value in beauty, regardless of cost. I'd already started to do this a bit but maybe it should be the entire goal, n'est-ce pas?

Ugh now I need to reprice all my kitties.

I personally find the best place to check out current prices is the web market https://torgon.info/manage/#!/kccats, you can search by traits there and price in line with the market. It is especially useful when pricing the newest traits as those do change rapidly until they are widespread and settle into the normal pricing structures people use.

Thank you! I am using their profilers - not surprised they are helpful in other ways
