Subject: The Price of Components


Spyglass Components Cost


1 Collapsible Fishing Pole ???
1 Metal Rod 9gp
1 Bottle 6cp
1 Metal Twine 1pp
1 Reflective Shard 16pp

Total cost of Spyglass 17.906pp + Collapsable Fishing Pole
(Lets round it to 18pp)

Selling Price of Spyglass 40-50pp

Hmmm.... (Assumptions of the price of Components for the Fishing Pole)

-------------------------------------------
Minimum Price of Fishing Pole 2pp (Cost of 40pp with Salvador making
100% profit)(Fairly Likely)

A possible price 7pp (Cost of 50pp with
Salvador making 100% profit)(Most Likely)

A safe price range... <12pp (Cost of 45pp with
Salvador making 50% profit)(Likely, notice my less than sign =)

Maximum Price of Fishing Pole 32pp (Cost of 50pp with no profit)(Highly
Unlikely)
-------------------------------------------

I was surprised, what a range! I personally think the fishing pole will cost
less than 7pp to make. But regardless of which figure you like (or dislike)
there is little room for a cam or reflective shard in the collapsible
fishing pole unless Salvador was selling for a loss. The figures above
assume no failures in making the Fishing Pole or Spyglass (Whether or not
Salvador took this into consideration, I do not know). Thus the actual
price of components may be less. My thanks to Xalastile for the price of the
spyglass, and to Luke's website http://www.eqportal.com/tinkering for the
prices of components.

Bye Ya'll.
