    I insist my retail accounts keep at least a 2 key markup. Most keep
    between 2.2 to 3. If you are selling your goods at a wholesale price,
    via a retail website, you are then going to undercut anyone selling
    your product retail, which in my opinion would be bad business.
    Granted some things get a smaller mark up, i.e. large stones. I would
    also suspect the wholesalers you are going to buy from would have a
    suggested retail they would like you to stay close to, for the same
    reasons mentioned earlier. If you really want, contact me off site
    and I could offer some possible pricing guides for your own product,
    because if you are adding just labor to cost of goods for your own
    product, I suspect you are undercharging for your own goods on a
    wholesale level.
