selling kandi?

i know what the title says but hear me out i am in a very specific situation.

me and my cousin are doing a trade between a cuff and a set of earings, they own an earing buisness but ive never sold anything. To make sure that our exchange was off equal value i priced out my beads according to the amount needed for the cuff they want me to make. we are going to have no money involved, the pattern we are using for the cuff is not one of my own but we are not using any actual money. My question is; is there a more acurate way to price out beads if the ones you are using are older and dont have a listing with specific bead details anywhere? ( i know the prices for them because they are sold at walmart but the walmart website does not have any product info beyond dimensions and shipping details.

i also have another question. Is it alright to sell kandi for money if you own the pattern? ive heard its frowned upon but i have heard any actual things on the subject. ive bought pony bead jewelry but it wasnt marked as kandi and i dont think the creator intended it as such ( i bought it at a con a while ago so im going off of memory, in that situation i was very very nervous so i probably dont remember some stuff).

any answers apreciated
