Judging by the other prices on your website, I'd say if you're selling them individually, with a printed cover, then $4 each.

Individually without a cover, $2.50 each.

But then heavy discounts for bulk purchases, when you consider that many of us on this site would be interested in ordering in the hundreds.

Like Arseen I'd be more comfortable around the $1 mark for the amount I'd be looking at buying.

I realise you've got a lot of overheads to make up for, but keep in mind when you run further batches, you won't need to pay for a new mould, so you can recoup the mould price over time.

sheep2001:
Stamped logo much better in my opinion.

I understand you need to make your cash back on these as soon as possible, but price at those levels is prohibitive.

I can get genuine eu NDS cases for about 8$ for 10 here
http://www.rivieramultimedia.co.uk/games-cases.html
And they need minimum modification for gb/gba

I prefer the look of your cases by a long shot, and would be prepared to go above the price of the eu cases, but not over 5 times the price. What would it take to drive the costs down? Perhaps If you got firm orders in place to pay for the first run meaning no need to warehouse them? What's the minimum you can go to to cover production costs and initial investment, looking to see a decent clear profit from the second run.

Not trying to teach you how to suck eggs here, you've obviously done your research, and got these off the line super quick. Just trying to see how they can be viable for me.

Yeah, that is true, and I have to figure out what I want to do with my site and the GB cases/covers. I also agree the pricing I threw out is slightly high. (Me personally, I wouldn't have a problem dropping $300.00 on 100 cases due to the fact I'd only be doing it once. :-) )

I think the market for these cases is massive! And yes, I do need to recoup the mould cost. (So my wife won't kill me... since the original plan was to be a down payment... LOL) and I also agree I can just as easily but DS cases and cut them out if my prices are too high.

I refuse to waterdown the quality... Hmm...

What if the breakdown was something like:
1 Case =$5.00ea (Im thinking Ebay clients)
25 Cases = $3.50ea
50 Cases = $3.00ea
100 Cases = $2.50ea
500 Cases = $2.00ea
1000+ Cases = $1.50ea

What do you think???

mojoeskateco:
These look awesome but I'm not a fan of the logo carved into the front.

I'd imagine this would add to production costs as well?

Also for me, since I'm putting retro games in them the reference to website smacking you in the face every time the case is opened doesn't appeal to me.

I appreciate the need to brand but I think it's a bit much here.

That said I love everything else about them.

Just trying to give some honest feedback.

Hope to see these come to fruition though!

Agreed. I am trying to find a balance. What do you think about this idea? :http://s1371.photobucket.com/user/orders7/media/Solution_zpsd27b05e9.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 It would not be so loud.
