LOL yeah, of course.. but the metal costs money, the machine he uses costs money (wear and tear if nothing else), electricity, time he works on them, and also the finishing cost.. we're talking about the anodized ones here.. so have to take into account the price for that. I don't know what any of those numbers are.. but our cost should be twice that to be in keeping with standard retail practice.

Nope. That's off limits now, sir. We can't risk losing you anymore :p

You obviously don't smoke, but you'll have to lower your cholesterol, wear seatbelts, refrain from drinking, eating, effing around and basically stop enjoying anything in particular and stay safe :p

Well how long approximately to make a tube and how much does it cost to make? Without those 2 questions to take into consideration it would be impossible to give an answer. Everyone would be grabbing at straws just throwing out numbers. Sorry but I'm a manager at a retail store. Pricing is kind of what I do. I can give you an approximate retail value and you can decide from there.

Too many factors to determine true cost, I have a lot of machines that are expensive. Plus my time to make them and then turn them and thread them. It takes a bit of time. I am stressed making 50 units but I have to fill those orders. Production will have to slow down until my new machine gets here. Plus I have to take them to get anodized, thats a 3-5 day process.

$30
$25
$30

But like Case said.. without knowing how long it takes you to make each one it's only gonna be a wild guess.

I think I might come close to that.

Nero - Innocence (one of my fav dubsteps) and bassnectar - magical world (relaxes me a lot)

How cool is that? What business says, "You name the price?"

I think of this APV as a community APV since I get all the help I need in this thread! Might as well let yall decide! I work for yall

Right on fisty! Keystone mark up is 100%. I have no guess to what a good price is. If he can finish a tube, price of parts and labor included for $15 then it's a good deal.If it's a lot less than that then he would have to decide if he thinks the price is still fair.(Believe it or not there are other factors to consider, time away from family, market, availability, yada yada yada...) If it costs way more than that he would have to decide if he is willing to take that cut in profit. Only faceless can decide what factors he cares to take into account when doing the pricing. As a consumer we have different parameters. We want it for as close to cost as possible, but this isn't Walmart and we actually want Faceless to succeed.

Best answer I can give is the max I'd feel comfortable coming out of pocket for before saying no way. Max for the standard tube and sleeve would be $65-$70 and $$50-$55 for the mini tube.
