Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Retail, Low cost CNC

Figure on a wholesale price of at least 10 times materials cost if you want
a profit. Then double that price for the wholesaler will do it. Double the
wholesalers price for the retail price. Then do a test market at the
estimated retail price. If it will sell there OK, else forget it. If it is a
good seller, figure on orientals entering and competing with you at lower
prices or, move your manufacturing to Mexico.
