(...) Doubtful, no manufacturer would ever add cost to a product in order to sell it for less. It would be cheaper to discount wholesale lots to one of the many outlets like Big Lots or Tuesday Morning (in the US). -Rob.

(...) Hi Mike, wow, thanks for the post! Lots of great analysis and thought placed here. I think you have identified a lot of good factors behind trying to set a 'fair' price. For example, I do get most of my parts from Bricklink rather than parting (...) (22 years ago, 5-Mar-04, to lugnet.market.brickshops, lugnet.market.theory)

(...) thanks much for taking the time to share your insights with me about custom set pricing. I can tell you spend a lot of time thinking about all the variables that go into a price, too. I have readjusted my prices as a result, but due to some of (...) (22 years ago, 5-Mar-04, to lugnet.market.brickshops, lugnet.market.theory)

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 (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-04, to lugnet.market.brickshops, lugnet.market.theory)

(...) Hi Lenny, thanks for the posting. I appreciate your comments about setting pricing at a balanced rate. As I mentioned to Douglas, setting prices has been an ongoing process for me. I think that your suggestion of .20 per piece could work on (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-04, to lugnet.market.brickshops, lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

(...) Hi Douglas, thanks for the reply. I actually have posted this in the market area, I just thought I'd post it in the Space area in case those people don't browse the buy/sell/trade area. If they don't normally post them here, I just won't post (...) (22 years ago, 4-Mar-04, to lugnet.market.brickshops, lugnet.market.theory, FTX)

(...) Honestly, to me - .35 to .50 per piece is outrageous unless there is something REALLY special about it, and even then. I think keeping a custom set price within the .20 per piece range is the best bet for giving people a good value for their (...)

On one level that irks me, but in another sense I am glad to have that 60% (...) (23 years ago, 26-Dec-03, to lugnet.market.theory)
