gregintenn Report post Posted August 5, 2010 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.

Reaper Report post Posted August 6, 2010 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.

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
