BTW You have NOT answered one question I asked so far. It would be helpful if you either answered the questions or stopped wasting my time. It's a little ironic that you're trying to save a penny or two on your design and think that bitching about free advice is somehow going to help you achieve that goal... Look, call up a dozen or so vendors and get some price quotes -- it'll give you some idea of what a 'reasonable' price should be. Figure out what you can charge for your product... if there's enough money left for you to make profit, just go for it and leave the rest of your learning/profit maximization until you actually have an income stream and some track record of the difficulties in building your products. Anyone worrying about $.01/sq. in. either has such a huge volume that they should be able to afford an expect to get the best prices and redesign the product (this oftens makes a huge difference!) specifically to be easy to manufacture or else is probably never going to get their product out the door in the first place. I've seen many people who seemed to have viable product ideas never get anywhere because they spent far too much time worrying about how to squeeze the last penny out of manufacturing costs and ran out of enthusiasm to simply design and document the product properly. ---Joel Kolstad |
