YOu need to first decide what market you are going to sell to (lower, middle, or upper class).  Are you going to make the handbags or buy them wholesale to resale.  What materials will you use (expensive leather, suedes and chenilles...or low cost polyesters and cottons)?  Do you require 1 extra employee or 4?  Will you want to have a physical store (which can cost more) or sell at flea markets and online auction sites(which will cost less and make your items visible to a variety of people)?  Do you prefer to make alot money from one item at once or make money from a few items over a period of time.  Decide on all of this and you should know where you want your numbers to fall

Check out the competition that exists presently on the net.  That way you will be able to work out how much gets charged.  Then contact the website.  Compare what you are offered and make a guess.

Hard to find info in a hurry, but I would try talking to the big names in the industry. I included a link in the source, maybe that will work for you.  There are other jobs out there though to make a few bucks.

Just figure out everything you need and all that labor crap to. Some people businesses give you free estimates. I know roofing place do. Get one of them to estimate your job and go from there. But if its bigger you might need a little help. *

Research the cost of the following things:\n1. Facility (including insurance, hydro etc)\n2. Equipment\n3. Personnel\n4. Advertising (very expensive at the beginning)\n\nI can't think of any others right now.

You need to make a companies capital budget? well you have to start with a sales projection and work backwards. After you estimate how much you will produce, you will need to figure out how much it will cost to produce it and of course, you want to have a profit left over. Any managerial accounting text book will have a chapter outlining this in detail, head to the library!

You'll have to do some searching on the Amazon.com web site, but you can in fact do this via the Amazon Marketplace. They do require a fairly hefty commission (if my memory serves me correctly, it's 50-60%), but your dealing with an item that typically gets a high markup over production costs.\n\nHere's a starting point for you:\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/misc/sell-your-stuff.html/

That's a tough one, you might want to check Tuff Stuff magazine.  They have a pretty good bobblehead pricing section.

No I didn't. How much does it cost to make the other coins? Does it even out or at least become profitable?

contact the Producer's guild of America at the link below - there is no pay rate or scale for producers, each one is paid on an individual contract basis - but the guild would be able to give you the information you need.

Companies do not tend to give out this sort of information!\n\nWith costings, remember that the cost of the individual components does not make up the whole cost.   Think of making a cake - the flour, butter, eggs and sugar are not the only things you have to price into how much it costs to make.   There is petrol used to get the ingredients to your house, gas to cook the cake, electricity for the blender, electricity to light the kitchen, your labour costs, household insurance, water rates and council tax (pro rata for the time it takes you to make the cake!).   If you buy a cake from a shop, you also have to add in the packaging costs, transport costs, marketing costs, development costs, retailer's costs (including some mark-up for shoplifting!) - and profits (and I am sure I have left some things out!)   So where do you put in mark-ups?!!!\n\nAre you looking for any particular product?\n\nIf it's any help, the Mini was made at a loss - Ford took one apart and priced all the individual components and realised it could not be made for the price it was sold at!

If someone you know will wear what you design.  And designing something that will sell for more than it cost to make it.  That's always a bonus =)
