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.

"Nuclear" is pronounced "nu kli Er." It is NOT pronounced "nu kU ler." When you use this pronunciation, no matter how smart you may actually be, you sound like an illiterate dolt (are you listening, Mr. Bush?). - dlavery [more]
