I like that idea. Was thinking of putting it on shopping policies, but I like your idea better; it would communicate the message on every item. Thank you :)

Maybe what you can do is market your first/second run items as an “Introductory Offer” Available only while the introductory supply lasts…….

that way your buyers know up front that the introductory price is a limited supply and they are really getting a deal…….and because Etsy shows the available inventory of an item, potential buyers can see what is available of the inventory for that special item. ( even if you don’t have all of your initial run inventory made, can you indicate an inventory of what you could readily make at the intro price and let your customers know that there is a certain lead time to complete production once an order is placed.)

Yeah. That’s the thing. I hate to see them leave the shop just because I don’t want to make them at the original price any more. And when I sell something off Etsy, it makes me sad that the item won’t be displayed on the shop at all unless I make it again. Etsy is in a way some kind of portfolio to me, so I like to show everything I’ve ever made for the shop there. But I don’t want to be scared of selling. I want to be excited!

So this scheme really puts things in order for my “utility curve”.

You are always on the first run of my creative thrill :)

You go girl! Since you don’t have anything invested in these make-me-make-it priced items you really have nothing to lose (they aren’t sitting in inventory collect dust)……and only some well deserved $$ to gain…….

Showing them in your shop helps demonstrate your spectaular creativity and design savvy,,,,,,,,

I for one Love to be on the receiving end of your first/second-run inspirations!
