I would sell them for $40 and they could probably get $75 for them.

If I'm looking at this right you have about 95 pierces x .15 each = $14.25, and somewhere near 200 cut inches at .12 per inch = $24.00 plus metal about $4.00 plus powder coat which I have no idea what to charge for and labor which I don't know what you value your time at. Looks to be a expensive peace to produce. Unvevo I don't think he can make any money t $40 each.

Using your numbers for pierces and cutting, and his size (10" x10" x2 pieces 14g) I would be right around $40 as well with powder coat, and that would be with me paying someone else to powder coat them. I may even go down to $37.50 if they ordered a lot of them, as in 100 or more.

I don't know how the market is in NC but I would be broke and out of business at the prices you quoted. Hell, I bet I could farm them out to a laser shop at the prices you quoted, and still make some profit.

I'm not saying you are wrong, just wanting to illustrate the difference in the market in different geographic areas. People ask for a price, and have no idea if the answers they get are even relevant to their situation.

$40?!?! I cant possibly see how you can make money on something like that, and powdercoat on top of it? Maybe im wayyy off but id say in my area youd go broke at that price. Just my opinion. I'd say 60-70$

Ride4life05 - Curious to see how close these price estimates are to what you actually sold them for. Are you able to share how this ended up turning out for you?
