Hi NCtubes,
Perhaps you could approach this from the perspective of what building those amps is worth to you?
Consider (where applicable):
- How much time you spend on each amp.
- How much you'd like to make per unit of time spent on each amp.
- The total cost of materials. The deck, cabinet, components, etc.
- Cost of tools and shipping supplies.
- Marketing expenses - keeping in mind that your time is money.
- Utility bills (or increase of such if you are working from home).
- Insurance.
- Evaluate if doing the work brings you joy.
I am of the opinion that even casual hobbyist should charge appropriately for the fruits of their labor. Selling too cheaply has a negative affect not only on your pocket but on the industry as a whole.
