I don't know what they go for in the US, but 125 pennies for the green one seems a little low. :D

they are nice pieces. as for pricing it's kind of hard to say without holding the pieces and knowing how much time you spent on them. if you're getting large orders then i would suggest that you set your prices on an hourly basis. this is why i don't make headies for money. when i finish a nice piece my hourly seems to end up around $30/hour for what others want to pay. that's really not enough in my opinion to make it financially viable when it's possible to make so much more doing prodo. for me headdies are about the love.

btw, you're almost certain to catch some hell for posting prices over on gp. you might consider editing if you don't want to run the risk of being banned over there.

it can get difficult pricing 'headier' pieces, sometimes it works out for 25 bucks/re-ball or section. try to imagine what the retail should be, and half that.
it is hard to say w/o holding them, but i'd say 100 bucks? how long did each one take? any fancy marbles?
don't price 'em too low, its easier to lower your prices than raise them. trust me.

then again, is this thing is inspired by banjo And redbeard, it must be fuckin priceless. lol
