A couple years ago I sold a 6oz. jelly jar on eBay. It went up to $9 plus the poor guy paid $5 to ship it. I felt like an a$$ for him having to pay that much. A week later I got an email from him... He wanted 10 more!
Needless to say I gave him a fairer price for those.

2013 2x6 homemade arch 180 taps. 20 Gals.
2014 40 on 3/16 gravity 160 on buckets.

That is our prices on what we sell locally. I have been told I am a bit high and I know I am. As I tell them when they do. No one is twisting your arm. Would you like to taste the difference between my syrup and the stores. Then if they say sure I whip out a few spoons and let them try it. They usually never complain again and often come back for more.

I'm getting 15 a pint, or 25 for two.We're getting repeat business. It seems a little high but people seem to be willing to pay. If they want a larger amount I cut the price quite a bit for bulk purchases. It all word of mouth and we don't advertise. Other than trapping, it's the only hobby we actually make a little money on.

Where do you sell it all? I only have about 60 gallons made from this year but wouldn't mind recouping some costs if possible. It would give me a chance to reinvest!

I sell mine by word of mouth to friends and co-workers. My wife and kids sell to their friends and co=workers too. Talk it up and people will buy it.
I belong to the NH Maple Producers Association and participate in the annual open house weekend and sell a lot of it then. I now have a lot of repeat business and they come to me.
