"Why the huge diffrence in price for 28mm" Topic

So most producers of 28mm have added to the price on recent years, generally things are just more expensive, but particularly the price of the metal is the teason they say.

But how come sash and saber can sell their figures for $1.4 USD r even 1.1 for unit packs.

While others take like £1.80 GBP ($2.5) pr figure

And you can't say its because its lower cost in the us then uk.

Because you have American companies that also takes close to the $2.5 USD pr figure. And you have uk companies that take £1.00 GBP pr figure.

I don't think sash and saber is the world's biggest seller of 28mm and so can have low price.
I have won't mention names be we all know about some of the biggest sellers also are the most expensive.

If they couldn't get the higher prices they would lower them or go out of business. Also, no two companies have the same cost of doing business. Trust me, I like lower prices but this is the way of the world…

One reason is that Chris is his own sculptor for Sash and Saber.

The sculpting cost is a big part of the cost to bring a new miniature to market.

Chris does high quality work (as do some other sculptors that are also owners) and it all depends on their approach to valuing their time and costs and how they approach the marketplace with the products they make.

In a niche industry with many competitors for all core miniatures, making the smaller or unique ranges pose a bigger potential risk and typically longer time for breakeven. Every once and a while someone hits on something that stirs the marketplace to respond favorably, but those occasions are rare.

Just as with any product, price is also dependent on expected sales volume and the time to recuperate the investment and reach break even on costs. For every company in this small industry the tolerance for capital risk (outlay) and possible reward varies. How many have thousands to tens of thousands to create an entire range at once and then debut it with the hope that it sells well enough to get to break even and then go beyond and make some profit for the company? Not many. Let us be honest. Anyone who makes products and not wanting to make a profit is the rare person. Running a business, even a part time one, takes time and effort and one needs to be compensated. I know most in the industry really do not make a large amount of money.
