If you sell some items for under 12, have you crunched numbers yet to see

what you would have to charge if you decide to sell after CPSIA kicks in Feb whatever? It is very educational to do so. My $7.50 allergy bracelets hopped to $420.00 in a BEST case scenario (guess I can shelve that idea for now bahahahahaha).

Run the numbers. You'll be a bit ummmmmm, surprised.

sad. :(

My $30 purses jump to $1120, and that JUST for the testing :(

[Former_Member]

Yes Lucky, my $420 bracelets didn't include the cost for the materials or even a penny for my labor....

I have not run the numbers but I don't need to I've seen enough of other peoples math to know it wouldn't be pretty.

I think this needs to be in the CPSIA forum.

Edith, its business. We can avoid it all we want but it effects damn near all of us one way or another. You want to flag it, go ahead - - but lots of us in Business Forum are sticking our heads in the sand and NOT doing the numbers or visiting the CPSIA forum because we want to pretend it won't matter ...

It DOES matter and hiding it in another forum won't make the problem *disappear*...
