[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 5672143, member: 23094"] Okay, my XP comment in the OP is supposed to say, "The die that rolls a 1 gets eaten!" No idea why it only posted half of it. Anywhoo, when pricing these, I'd do it one of three ways: 1) Price out your materials to make a batch of dice. Figure out how long (including standing around waiting for it to harden) it takes to make that batch. Calculate a fair hourly wage to pay yourself for being a chocolatier. Divide your wages and the cost of your materials by the number of dice in a batch, and that gives you the price you need to charge. 2) Look at other specialty snack-type foods that are being sold at the 'con. Are there any? Are they going for cheap? Price competitively against something similar, and then add a little bit extra for the novelty factor. 3) Make up a number that seems reasonable. Unless you're doing this as a real business investment, it's essentially a hobby, so any cash you get from it is pretty much a bonus. [/QUOTE]
