Question
How do u go about charging for candles.how much would u charge for a ten oz container candle.

Answer
Hello,

In order to figure out what you should charge for your candles, you would just take your costs and multiply by 3.  That is the general rule of thumb when pricing things out.  Don't forget about the cost of packaging and what the shipping cost was to you.  
Hope that helps.
