Priced Out.

[Dennis]

I have posted this separately, so as not to hijack Clareys thread http://www.cooksongold.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4142. Below is my project ring, made last term, at the college I attend part time: to make a tube set ring against the clock. It took me four hours.

So, pricing it along the lines suggested by George:
Time at say £10 an hour £40.00
Materials, silver and peridot £20.00
Hallmarking, postage , and profit £10.00. Wholesale price £70.


Gallery price £140 plus VAT @20% £168.00
Price of a comparable item in a seaside gift shop, maybe £ 20.00 Dennis.
