OK, I don’t know if there is anyone out there who can help, but I am so stressed out and just don’t know what to do about this. In this economy I haven’t been able to find a job so I was forced to find another way. I started a small boutique business out of my home for Christmas. I sell Christmas decorations, collectibles, etc.

In particular, I have a huge collection of vintage barbies I am selling. I didn’t have the prices completely worked out and I was just setting up as someone came over to look. She wanted to buy many of my barbies, and I was kind of overwhelmed by it. When she finally left with her purchases I realized I did not add the numbers correctly and undercharged her by $60! I am a very small business just starting out and sometimes I don’t even make $60 in one day. I know that sounds crazy and I hope I don’t seem petty, but in this economy with no job, $60 is a lot and I just don’t know what to do.

I was thinking about calling her and asking her if I could buy the barbies back from her for the price she paid me. I was also thinking of telling her about the $60 undercharge and seeing if she might pay part of it – maybe asking her to pay half ($30) since it was my mistake.

But I don’t know, I don’t want to create an untrustworthy reputation for myself especially since I am just starting out. I started this thing with no experience or business education, and now I am regretting that. I just have no idea what to do and have been stressing out about it for 2 days. I need help! She seemed really nice and probably would work with me about it…Should I just eat it because it was my mistake or should I call her and see if we can work out a compromise? Anyone with an opinion would help, but especially someone with experience or education in owning or managing a small business/boutique.
One thing that added to the confusion was at the end she changed her mind and switched out a less valuable barbie for a more valuable barbie, but paid the same total price.
Another part of it was she got really emotional (crying) looking at the barbies because they reminded her of her childhood. I think I got caught up in the emotion a little which distracted me from the money side of things. I guess that will teach me to mix emotions and business!

i say turn them off after new years day
