Hi all,
I really need some help with something.
My mother purchased a set of 4 wooden, hand painted napkin rings made in INDIA. They are in great condition, and even came in a beautiful box.
We would really like to know what they are worth, as we are interested in selling them for a profit. Since I am from the USA, I really have no clue what these could be sold for here in the US. So, I was hoping maybe someone from India would be able to tell me more about them and how much (in USD) they are worth. Or, if you live somewhere else and know a lot about them, please feel free to post with your knowledge.
I have posted a few pics on my profile page so that you all can see exactly what they look like. Please take a look.
The only thing that I ask is that you be honest with me and if you aren't sure how much they are really worth, please say so because I need to know for sure. I don't need opinions.
Thank you so much!

Hi Miss.. The ring isn't more than Rs 150/- which is roughly $3... lol... But if I were you, I would try (and fail too, because it is me!) to sell it for $ 50 to $ 100.. consider the work, the embroidary etc... They are beautiful and I know people pay for the beauty of those articles..
Take care..

I was hoping they were worth a little more, but it is ok because I only paid $2.00 USD for the set.
Thank you for your response! I will definitely try to sell them for more than $3 because they really are beautiful and I know a lot of people would appreciate them.

Sell it for 19.95$. I know in India people may not spend too much on such things. It will be hardly 200Rs or 3.50$. It depend on how people view and value things. Those in real need will be willing to pay any price.
