Finally, don't sell anything at a loss on purpose - there's not much point in that. If people want your product, they will pay for it. Don't get too caught up on price - it's only one factor in deciding to make a purchase...

Wayne, I'll look into that shopping cart stuff, thanks. I get the feeling though that people won't actually use it...and it may be very complicated to set up, because the possibilities for each thing I offer is fairly wide - more than 10 options for each model....
I think a word Doc might be the easiest thing to do..
Here is the part I offer at a loss. I do so for several reasons...because I'm unhappy with the quality of other similar parts, and because if I were to cover the cost of each one, sales would drop to zero, I'm sure. Parts from this company are hideously expensive, compared to other parts. I really don't mind, because I'm the
only one who offers these parts.
About people pay for for it if they want my product...that's an interesting thing. Finding just the right price point has been an interesting challenge...we just increased prices recently, to cover rising parts costs. I've had people tell me to raise my prices higher...but then again, I've had people *****ing that the prices of my competitors were too high.... Where to settle?
And interesting thing to note is that in Japan, my product sells for about
two to three times more than I get for them
