Do Not Read - It's Just Pawn!

You just couldn't resist could you?

What's GETi been up to today then?

How to lose money on an order and turn it to your advantage.

This chess pawn paperweight was ordered by one on my customers recently. He originally had one cast from silver and we just finished it for him but this version is one that we machined from solid Stainless Steel bar - material cost £200 - tooling £60 - labour 3- 4 hours £200? - total £460 (plus all the other usual overheads rent, rates, leckie etc.)

How much are we getting for it? £200 - bargain! I haven't quite worked out the bit about turning the loss to our advantage but I think the secret Santa might come into it somewhere along the line I may also have to join a chess forum to see if I can flog a few to the enthusiasts out there - do you think they are ready for me?

That is so oooooooo! - can't think of better word.

You see, you're a sweetheart really - giving your customer such a bargain.

Could'nt resist, always prepared for a bit of a giggle with your posts As for your genoursity, wow that is a loss (why what happened ) I hate when i don't make a profit especially with a beautiful piece like that xx

It's just one of those things - we made the silver one and the customer said "would it be cheaper in stainless steel, can you make me one?" and I said yes hoping something else more profitable might come from it - you never know, a nice big half carat diamond plonked on the top, a few platinum inlays and a bit of laser engraving and we should get at least a tenner for them, any takers?

Hiya Jason where've you been? They've all been ganging up on me in here

I quite fancy making a few bits for around the house in Silver.

I think the silver one weighed in around half a kilo - quite a lump!
