How much would you pay for a handmade baby blanket?

I crochet baby blankets and I am thinking about trying to sell them online. How much would you be willing to pay for a handmade item such as this? I'm pretty talented and can do a wide variety of patterns, many that I have made up myself. I have sold many of my blankets in the past, some baby size and some queen size. They have sold for anywhere from $10.00 to $50.00. What do you think?

1. here asite that sale handmade baby blankets it could help you price yours.
2. Well it depends on quality but I personally would pay 25$ babies are expensive themselves let alone all the things you need for them! lol. Try ebay for some price ideas and selling options! And here is a tip I'm sure you already know .....babies fingers get stuck in the loops of yarn I hated that my son has one and it did that all the time.
3. Depending on the size, I wouldn't try to sell one for more than $25. I have seen a few get sold on ebay, but I think it's few and far between compared to the ones that are actually posted. We have a local store here where people can rent a booth and sell their handmade items. I have seen many handmade baby blankets, but they range in price from about $25 to over $100. I saw an afghan that was about $35 and it literally took months to sell. I think a lot of people look at stuff like that and don't want to pay someone else for their time to make it when a lot of them think they can do it themselves (but they don't).
4. Unfortunately, people don't want to pay much for crochet blankets. I gave up on selling afghans long ago. Folks want to pay less than the yarn costs.
