How much would you charge for?

A personalised mug, hoody, shoulder bag and cushion as a gift set?

I've an idea in my head, but I've a reason for asking, lol

Thanks

i always think give 1 item for free when you have a set like this
so give the cheapest item free which i suppose is a mug

I would work out the basic costs of blanks and the cost of printing. Then I work out time involved in the whole job and allocate a cost to that. Deciding what your time is worth is upto you....£20/30/40/50 per hour. That's how I would do it anyway.

For the hoody, the shoulder bag and the cushion alone you're talking approx £20

I've came across a seller on ebay selling all of the above as a gift set for.................................. £29.99

Where's the profit in that?

[smitch6]

ouch they can't me making any profit surely
unless they get the products a lot cheaper then you?????

EVen with a major bulk order, they're still going to be paying out a lot, and remember, that £20 doesn't include the cost of the mug, and anything else that goes with it.

Then there are the ebay fees on top of it, and he doesn't look like he's getting any discounts as he's not a TRS, oh, and he under charges on the P&P, posting the whole lot for £3.

OK, he has over 10,000 listings on, but in the last 30 days he's lucky to have sold £200 worth of items.

It's total madness if you ask me.

I've seen this, or someone similar, on ebay too. He/she had thousands and thousands of listings over xmas but I cannot work out how they are making ends meet with that many listing and only a few hundred sales - surely his monthly charges will be miles above what he's making.
