MG, this post and the bunch that follow are a load of *commercial* bollox!... ...BUT!, they're also right! Your price should be based on a logical analysis and not "what's good for everyone else". This is what happens when you get a bunch of left wing, socialist Labour unionists in a public mailing list! (opps... did I just see my self being moderated off list?! ;) ) Ok being serious for a minute, you need to cost out your business properly. As I hinted earlier, I suspect that you don't know how to do that. Don't be ashamed! I didn't know how to either until my wife showed me the documents from of CDC that told us how. It's common sense logical stuff and yet I still didn't think to do it right, I felt like such a dick! I confess, prices for our company as still not right, but we do have a better idea. I can't remember were the instructions are or where to find them other than ringing CDC and asking them. As you're in Akl and won't have a clue who to talk to or even what to ask them, I'll give them a call later this afternoon and report back to the list. I think this is stuff that will help everyone (based on what I read today!) I also think we should do a wiki topic on it now that we've got the new wiki (Thanks James?) MG you might like to help out with the wiki as a favour for us helping you with this problem? hint hint?
