Cuebuilder Question and Cost

[mooseman]

To all the cuebuilders:

How do you determine how much you are going to sell a cue for? Of course some end users can only pay what they afford.

I guess the question should read, "How do you determine the minimum amount you would sell a cue for?"

By taking into account the cost of the materials, cost of labor, cost of overhead and profit.

What profit?
The one that is used to buy supply, tooling and equipment?

That is what we use to buy the gasoline for our one car that we now use only for my wife to go to work and to the grocery store once a week.

In another life we went to tournaments and vacations but that was before Mr. B*** took office.

First on the list of many things to consider is the "how busted am I" factor. Then there is the "how much deposit can I get right now" factor. I mean, after all, if we have already have enough money for this month's AND next month's balogna sandwiches, Kraft Mac N Cheese, and 2 cases of Shasta Root Beer, we may not want to work this month at all. If we do choose to work, then it will be EXPENSIVE. Might take a while, too.

Now, on the other hand, if we are already down to Ramen Noodles and water, then of course we will be willing to make you a deal and get it done pretty quick. Nobody likes eternal Ramen. It gets old. Especially when you run out of Ragu to pour on top of it.

Then there are your typical considerations... cost of materials, time required, difficulty and the possibility of a profit (if you call it that).

Then we have to consider what state you are from and if that meets our personal political preference. A cue will cost you a little more if your governor has any affiliation with President Bush and the war.

Then there is the sports schedule. Cues will always cost more during NFL season, as well as during the NBA playoffs. If we have a lot riding with the bookie and happen to be stuck right now, you can expect us to tell you how the price of ebony and ivory are rising beyond our control.

Lastly, we consider just how good internet poker has been to us lately. Definitely have to raise the price if we have a hefty party poker deposit we have to cover this week. Of course, we have to go busted in our poker account before we can have time to work on your cue, which may be the reason we tell you the wood has moved a little and needs to cure up some more... just waiting on it for now so that you get a STRAIGHT cue.

OH CRAP !!! Did I say all this outloud?
