 I think that FIRST should just give up and officially recognize Chiefdelphi as the place to go for community and team resources. - Greg Needel [more] |

Fair Replica Orbit Ball Price? - Poll
I see that a team in Wisconsin is trying to mass produce replica orbit balls. My team may be interested, but we were wondering what others think a fair price would be. They say it costs them $10 to make each ball.

Re: Fair Replica Orbit Ball Price? - Poll
My team made a few without the spandex, so I know how hard it is. That's why I voted 25 bucks.

Re: Fair Replica Orbit Ball Price? - Poll
Normally, I'd say $10, because, as a rule, I'm not interested in paying more than retail price for anything, but since I know it's a fundraiser, I'd be willing to pay a little more. I'd consider $11 or $12 to be reasonable. However, since we're also making a bunch, I wouldn't be buying any unless they were cheaper than our cost of materials.

Re: Fair Replica Orbit Ball Price? - Poll
If they're $10 to make, cost $10 for the retail ones, and can't be found anywhere, I'd say $15 is a reasonable price to ask. It makes up for the labor put in, and gives the team somewhat of an incentive to do it, since it is time consuming.

Re: Fair Replica Orbit Ball Price? - Poll
Having seen how long it takes to make these balls ....
If the materials cost $10 for each one... $20 is a more than fair price. I would start there... that's only $10 for the time. I think you have at least a man-hour in each ball...unless you can do it alot faster than I have seen....and don't forget the cost of cutting all the materials etc... $20 is very fair. If someone doesn't WANT to pay for one of these at that price.. I think they should just build them themselves.... As far as not "wanting" to pay more than the market price... No one has established a market price for these....the other orbit balls are no longer available and you cannot compare that price for a non-existent product with this product... If I were you guys I would take orders and see what the market bears for prices.... I bought a package of three from Logoloc With shipping and their "extra" markup I paid over $14 per ball... Those were ALL gone in half a day... Reward your efforts... There is market and a demand.... use it
