I can see $3.00 per plant, that's pretty much what they go for at the garden stores. But I don't have the room to do that - I'm talking about ripe pods. If I had planted the (smallish) plants I had last year before the middle of June, I would have had far more peppers than I could ever hope to use, unless I start selling powder or sauce.
As a game plan, I'm thinking about offering 3 of each type of say 12 different peppers for $10. The goal would be to sell about five bags per week and if the peppers do any good at all, it should be easy enough to gather 15 pods per week from most of the plants. For larger ones, such as Japapeno or Hungarian Hot Wax, I would have just one of them per bag.
Does this sound too high, too low or about right? Keep in mind, real chilli heads would probably want a lot more if they aren't growing them and I can always cut a deal with them.

you have a local monopoly so i suggest exercising your market power and implementing price discrimination. I like third degree, where you divide your customers into groups and price differently based on each groups demand. I really kicked my midterms ass today...wordwiz said:
anyways, that means i think you should offer a bag for the average chili eater, and a different bag for serious chiliheads, and maybe even two sizes of each. then price the chilihead bag a little higher proportionally b/c they would value it more, but lie and say those plants are rare or less productive or something if they ask...

I had this picture of him with his caveman-look beard in a post mushroom consumption buzz, grunting, beating on his chest and waving a pepper plant around in some poor suburbanite's garden at midnight.
But he's still posting, so he's not in jail yet, so maybe your tippytoe tutu scenario is more accurate.
Well, to be fair, a speelchucker wouldn't have caught that one.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! That's hilarious!!!! Mainly because I've did that once...minus the beating the chest and grunting though.Pam said:

replace...."except for Jesus with a couple of naga plants"
with "and getting a gorilla in a pink tutu was hard...."
