Cleft £5.00 , Handle £5.00 , Twine £2.50 + £12.50 labour = £25.00 (£10.00 extra pressing if required)

These are my calculations.

Grade 3 cleft £20.00, Handle £5.00, Twine £2.50 + £30.00 labour/profit (including pressing) = £57.50 + £10 Postage

These are my calculations  ;).

Then selling at £25 I don't see any profit made by the seller... You expect to be given the cleft, handle and twine? And it takes less than an hour to handle, bind, press and shape the shoulders? That's if these figures are even close to the mark.

You certainly do want something for nothing

Have you over looked the labour = £12.50 profit ?

My time isn't free, is yours? And you expect to buy the cleft at cost?..

The word goose comes to mind

So you want what you consider "cost" price but then labour for free?

Pretty sure this thread is going nowhere quickly and just increases people's annoyance at how naive you are being

I'm sure he'll make a storm in the plastic bat industry.

To be fair to him, if he makes the bats himself, then the cost of his labour is the money he gains from making the bat - you could look at it as profit. However, if you are employed, you are paid a wage and that is your profit.

The component missing from all of these is:

This "£12.50 Labour Charge" must include overheads, and I'd hazard a guess that once you take out these + depreciation on the tools you need, you'll find that the £12.50 "Profit" amounts to a lot less. Quite what those overheads are per bat is very dependent on the volume you produce...

And even then, I still want to know where I can get Clefts at £5! I'll start my own business at that price!
