The formulas you suggest are really helpful for sanity checking product pricing. For a lot of my products, they calculate prices too high for my market to bear based on price comparisons of similar products, etc. But, they're a good checkpoint anyway and further highlight the importance of continuing to source more competitively priced materials and further streamlining my processes so that my labor cost actually works out to a living/livable wage.

I just wrote a blog post a couple of days ago explaining why my etsy prices were going up and you express my ideas so much more eloquently. I'm going to post a follow up linking to your article because I think more people have to realize that we sell handmade to make a living, not to complete against those who undercut their own prices, or against mass market retailers.
