Pricing Question

[gregintenn]

How do you all go about determining a price for an item? I am thinking avbout pricing these holsters for $35 and the mag holders for $20. Does that seem fair to you? They are for a small semi auto; a Ruger LCP to be exact. I price my larger holsters at $40, but it seems these should be a bit cheaper as they are smaller.

380 mag pouches are hard to find and just as hard to actually get to your door... mmm, dunno about size being a factor really? I would think, quality and functionality would be key in the pricing?

Though I guess if you lower price because of less material investment then the 5 dollar difference seem fair to me.

my 2cents,,with a new found respect for hand made leather work,,i don't believe size is a factor,,type of leather, labor,and level of craftsmanship would be basis(and maybe if you need a buck in a hurry,,lol)..Your pricing sounds more than fair,,they look damn good...And a few things i fooled around with,,the smaller they are have seemed to be the hardest... i like them!!

I DEFINITELY have to second the labor and workmanship factor.

I've never owned a holster as good as the ones that I'm starting to make now, and I like the Don Humes that I've bought.

There's not THAT much price difference in any reasonable amount of leather used. Labor is another story entirely. I just found that out a few minutes ago while fabricating (what I hope is) my final tuckable belt clip paddle design. If the customer wants a custom, especially hand sewn, holster, he should expect to pay a price commensurate with the leather.
