We're working on pricing for OGD1, and we have some ideas, but we
thought we might want to discuss this on the list to see if anyone
knows the economics of it better than we do.
I'm not going to discuss OGD1 itself. Although we have some good
estimates on things, we have no solid quotes for continuous supply of
parts, fabrication, etc. Instead, let's just keep this in the
abstract.
Here are some factors that we thing we need to account for in pricing
the product:
A: Raw parts cost
B: Engineering costs (design, testing, etc.)
C: Other handling costs (overhead, packaging, etc.)
D: Failure rate buffer (bad boards, warranty returns, etc.)
E: Maximum discount
F: Manufacturer profit
G: Wholesaler profit
H: Retailer profit
I think you've forgotten marketing/advertising costs.
