Custom kit pricing is indeed very difficult. I try to price mine just under
the 20c/piece mark, but I am producing mostly Town buildings where there are
a lot of plain bricks and plates. Most of the cost of a kit is not in the
pieces but in the time required. Most people who have never produced a kit
themselves have no idea how long it actually takes to do a good job and
produce a quality kit: and most people who produce an initial kit never do
another one :-).
I'm now offering the option with my kits of paying less and having the
instructions as a PDF on CD rather than printed. Not only is that cheaper
for me to produce (even though I bought my own color laser to produce
instructions, consumables are EXPENSIVE - there's a reason why color copies
cost so much!) it also takes less time to produce - no printing, collating,
hole-punching or binding required.
