Selling Keychains: Market Research

[thesikorsky.livejournal.com]

I'm going to be selling some Hetalia keychains that I'm making, but I need to get some answers from you guys first, please, so I know how to price them, etc.



Here are what the designs will look like:



They won't have the letters and numbers on the finished product. They will be double laminated and then a keychain will be attached, and they will be about 6cm (2 3/8 inches) high.

I would like to know:

Which characters you would be most likely to buy (I also do characters like Shinatty, not just the nations)
How much you would be willing to pay for them
Which country you are from

Thank you for your help <3

Which characters you would be most likely to buy: England, France, Canada, Seychelles, Austria.
How much you would be willing to pay for them: Depends on the strap/keyring attached, but I'd say about... $4 US. That seems about the going rate. (Maybe 3/$10? $3 each would be super cool, too. |D [/haggle])
Which country you are from: USA (PROTIP: 6 cm is about 2 3/8 inches; 4 1/2 inches is about 11 cm. Might wanna fix that, lol ^_^)

Thanks for filling this in ^^

(And uwah, I fail so hard! Thanks for the correction, I know nothing about inches at all XD Have fixed it now!)

(To approximate inches when you have centimeters, multiply by 0.4; to approximate centimeters when you have inches, multiply by 2.5. This is a very good approximation for lengths up to about 1 m/1 yd.

And, helpfully, quickie approximations: 1 inch ≈ 2.5 cm; 1 cm ≈ 3/8 in; 10 cm ≈ 4 in; 1 foot = 12 in ≈ 30 cm; 1 yd = 3 ft = 36 in ≈ 90 cm; 1 m ≈ 40 in (3 ft 4 in))

(I feel like a bad American when I say we should get off our lazy bums and just switch to metric already. I've been taught metric since I started school, we use it in high school and college science labs, we even buy our drinks in liters! Really, now, America. Really.)

Okay, good, I feel better. I mean, really, though, I was in kindergarten more than twenty years ago. If we had started switching over then -- even slowly! -- we'd've been well on our way to using metric measurements naturally now. It's not that difficult (though it did make for an awesome physics exam this semester, when one question of ten on the first exam was "Estimate the following in metric units:" LOL); it's designed that way.
