I saw your ad..... looked pretty pricey to me. Out of a roll of tubing I get 167 drops, that would cost just shy of $57 for labor, it doesn't take 2 hours to cut and put fittings on...... that is $28 per hour. Too rich for me.

Thats what I thought too. I can process 140 to 160 an hour myself on a good day. Have done some for other folks at .25 each, plus materials.

If you are making drops for others you should be in the price range of what the dealers charge for already made drops.To set your price find out what they charge for the fittings and tube and it should be fairly easy to determine the labor they charge for the set up.

I got 30" drops from D&G spring discount for just under 1$ apiece. Ordered a bit more than 3000 total. Hope this helps. General prices for fittings and tube have increased since then.
