Selling our tree

On the day of the market Tina Downes came to us asking if she could purchase our tree! At first we weren’t even sure if she was serious because we were honestly so shocked she liked it that much that she would want to keep it. After having a group meeting and discussing the idea we decided that it would be a great idea to cover costs and give our tree away to someone that wanted it for we didn’t have anywhere to store it and there was only two trees but five of us so splitting it up would be difficult. We worked out the cost of the tree first to make a decision on the selling price ($56.20) then contacted Tina via email explaining the costs stating we had decided to ask for $90 for the two trees and all the pieces with it. She accepted this offer and the very next day I went to take her the tree and all the pieces and she gave us $100 instead. Tina is now the proud owner of our tree wanting to keep it on the end of her kitchen bench for display.

We had thought along the making process about how cool it would be to produce and sell our tree as we all wanted one for ourselves however we never expanded on the idea and thought that it could happen until Tina asked about it. As a group we will talk about potentially marketing the tree in the future however its so timely to make that it might be difficult, it would also be hard to market and sell ourselves so the idea would need to be sold off.
