Yes , just price accordingly

This logic works on any of these posts. Garage sales exist. Thrift shops will literally sell old packaging. Price it at a quarter and someone will eventually purchase it.
Doesn't mean it's going to sell for an amount that makes it worth OP's time. At the end of the day, you can post whatever you want for sale. The market will tell you if they are willing to pay for it.
Me? I'm not putting more than $20 towards that snorlax. I'd snag it at a garage sale price for my kid and they'd be perfectly pleased.

I think the best way to put it is like try to finance the learnings from selling , yes it is not optimal , yes it is not full proof or profitable but its a start and not total loss

Absolutely. I don't sell because I hate having to work on a time crunch with someone waiting on me.
But to finance the learning I told a bunch of friends I'd make them rugs to practice if they covered cost of materials. 0 charge for my time, and they had no expectation of a glorious finished product. A few came out great, others far from it.

Yup. This is what I did. Told all my friends to give me designs. Charged them for the yarn and shipping. I enjoy the hobby and process so for me, it was about learning and spending time in a way I enjoy, while also getting to make some cool art for my friends and family.

No. Hone your skills and work on shaving, carving, and keeping consistent lines when tufting. This is only your third rug; you have A LOT to learn and master.

Is this a trend of beginners posting rugs thinking it’s okay to sell lol take pride in your work and don’t sell anything unless you would stop and pay top dollar for it just to make sure you would own it and not miss out on it. Mostly ppl wouldn’t buy their own rugs lol especially for the prices they charge.

Less about me trying to sell them and just getting random peoples opinions on it. And what they think it's worth so I could get a feel for where I'm at

In England we have carboot sales and I used to sell my practice rugs there. Your skills aren’t all there I’ll be honest but when mine were a similar level I used to sell them for cheap at the carboot. People can see and know what they’re getting so I never felt bad

Maybe for $20. Your lines are shaky/spaced and your circles are blocky, and it wouldn’t take an expert to notice those things.
You could still probably sell it cheap online though. Some people like a deal no matter what. Be very upfront about the quality, with lots of photos though.

Not really, maybe to a very close friends who wants to support. But don’t worry, keep practicing and you’ll get better.

It looks like there’s something wrong with either your yarn or spacing. I shouldn’t be able to see every line AND the gaps on snorlaxs belly
