Holy Expensive Batman!
Raw Materials, Fabrication machines/tools, Shipping, Labor & Profit = $700 per trophy!???
If I could sell a few hundred at that price (>50 Regionals + Champs), I could invest in the tools and raw materials, work for 2-3 months (or weeks?) per year, and make more money than I am now.
Separate Topic:
First - No one needs to consider this statement to be a reason to try to re-emphasize to me how important some folks believe trophy size is; that has already been pointed out. However ...
There are at least two kinds of people in the world, and I am the kind that thinks large gaudy trophies are absurd.
I would rather have a small, tasteful Nobel Prize medal hanging in my trophy case than any of the cheesy, over-the-top, towers of inexpensive plastic, sawdust, pot metal, and glue that crowd most school trophy cases.
Display a modest-size, well-made, and elegant trophy in a large, well-lit, and otherwise empty space
that matches its importance; and I predict it will get noticed and appreciated.
