    My wife and I recently bought a lot of peice parts for a show and
    sale we are going to shortly. We have been discussing how to pro rate
    the freight and our labour costs to arrive at a fair selling price
    for each peice. We want to try to capture the true costs for freight,
    labor and customs duties plus our time to make each peice. We are
    also making some pendants, earring and broaches from PMC I bought
    locally in addition to the inported parts. 

    We are concerned that simply dividing freight cost by the number of
    parts would not work as some are valuable natural stones and or
    silver parts and others are less valuable parts like rubber cord
    etc. 

    If anyone has a good formula or ideas on how to valuate the
    different parts as to their finished sale costs or perceived value
    for resale we would be appreciative. 

    Offline replies are also kindly accepted at the below email.

Peter
