Angela,

Our terms are usually either 75/25 for quilters or 60/40 for other
items.  This way we can keep cost down and still allow for the artist
and ourselves to profit! Of course, you will need to see what your
market is like, ie--how much are your patrons willing to spend?  I
suggest choosing one term and using that for all items.  Our system of
multiple terms does get a bit confusing at times, and also the artists
occassionally tell each other what their terms are, and they get upset
if one has better terms than the other.

i hope this helps!
