Hey, if I spend $600 on equipment to make an item for sale, after putting in 
40 or 50 hours of my own time for research, and then buy $10 worth of parts 
each, and put in my own time to manufacture them (prolly 30 mins each) and 
then put in my own time again to take orders for them and package and ship 
those orders (probably another 30 mins each...)
$40.00 per hour is a decent skilled wage + a little back to make up for the 
production equipment I had to buy and the time I spent in research and 
development.
