Hi weisy,

depending on where you sell it, you could sell it for $30-$70. if u make a website, put the prices up a bit, as internationals buy offline.

Oh and don't worry about ozwinner, he is such a tease p:

I would not ask under $30 for it, you know if you want to give it away you can do that. well I know that people happily pay $20 -30 for a pen and there is more wood there. That just my 2 cents but feel free to dump it

With turning ability like that, design skills shown and knowing the ethics of the "TURNER"..... about 50 cents all up, including postage!

you doing this for fun or to make a living?
are you declaring the income for tax purposes?
do you have an ABN?

Assuming you're doing this for fun and declaring the income – $20 to $30 incl. GST
and make up the difference (after GST credits) by depreciating the lathe and writing off the tools against other income

if to make a living...
well ask yourself how much you need to earn per hour to survive

Arhh yes the..............tax man..
I hope you are all registered with the ATO.
I cant see why you cant all pay tax on the products you produce just like I have to.

Crude rule of thumb I once heard quoted by a pro:

cost of materials x 5, plus 10% GST

('pro' means that the design and execution are of a prof. standard).

Edit: looking at your pic, that's a lovely piece of wood but the design really turns me off.
