I can't remember who I asked me to cut some 15-60 dogs for but I have 6 of them ready, you have first on them if you remind me.  I also have 6 15-99's.  I also have some 15-49's but they are Sal's to "test"...I don't have a 49L that I want to change from stock to test them on.  The one I have is too nice and it's a "dust collector".

I really need to charge $4.00 each but I just can't and "feel good" about it so they will still be $3.00 each.

You should charge $4 Lee.  An extra $1 is not going to break anyone's bank.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

If nobody steps up, I'll takes them at $4 a piece.

I'm working on the numbers myself.  Part prices have gone up and I've kept the prices the same for now.

Material prices have been hurting me and the cutter razed his price by $0.20 a piece.

Lee, you don't charge enough. To me your price is worthless, I usually sent you what I believe is right, but still, you should increase it a little, so it would be fair with everyone else.
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Will do sir!  Expect a package soon.

In my opinion, they are worth $5.00 each --

If 100 were sold, the profit probably wouldn't buy a tank and a half of gas.

And there is the work of packaging, posting, etc., etc...emailing.

We are very fortunate to have this type of talent and willingness to provide a product second to none.

When we are talking about SS sleeves, yokes, gears, bridges, eccentrics, aluminum spools, Tib frames, power handles and cranks -- what is another buck or two?

Just my thoughts...

x2. I sent out hundreds' worth of S/S dogs and gears to the four corners of the globe, but never ended up charging anyone for 'em.
Doesn't make any business sense, but still good helping people out.

You could keep the price at $3.00 and charge a 'scrap tub levy' of 33.3% = $4.00
It can't be too difficult - a lot of people do it.

Or reduce the price to $2.50 and charge $5.00 shipping and handling.... ;D

I will try $4.00 and see.
