Depends on your cost. Retail is generally 50-100 percent of cost, so if it were 6.00 to make, 10.95 to 12.95 wouldn't be unreasonable. Got to figure in overhead too. If its a home industry thing, overhead is less than if you had them manufactured somewhere. A friend of mine made a microphone for recording from a cylinder player, clever device, and sold them for 19.95 I believe it was.
