Mailing stuff, costs, rates

I don't know where to post this, and I only did a quick fell swoop search to find old threads, so here goes..

Looking for about 6 quotes here, two items, three scenarios each.

How much is reasonable to charge for panties? I am in Canada, and would send anywhere. Can I just stuff them in an envelope, throw a stamp or two on, and send it like normal? How much for within my country, Canada, to the U.S. and to say... an expensive place like Australia?

How much for a used toy? Ballpark figure for a normal sized toy of any kind, within Canada, to the US, or to say... Aus.

Besides getting people to cover the cost of shipping, how much should I actually charge additionally for these items, profit wise. While I am building, as I am now, should I even charge much of a profit, or simply use the opportunity to bump camscore and MV rating and such..?

Posting this outside of models only because I am open to member opinions and comments too.

Posting to follow this, because I'm also struggling to figure out pricing for panty sales.

Just state Your price (if panties were worn, or toy used, mind that they can clone You...) Anyways if comes to merchandise it is like buying an art object. You just must know Your price.

I think this is something models find incredibly subjective between each other. For me, a US resident, I am only willing to mail panties within my country or Canada and I charge $50. You want to take in to account postage, shipping materials, the cost of the panties/the cost to replace them, and then you want to consider a fee for the time worn + your effort. I think $50 is fair because it shows they're a serious customer and they're willing to pay MY price for my product- if they really want it, they'll pay for it. I put effort into it, I draw on the package, I leave a personalized thank you note with a polaroid of me wearing the panties they bought, etc. It's what you feel is fair! There is no wrong answer, except for cutting yourself short trying to get more bites. You'll only get more hasslers in my opinion.

Only a member, so limited knowledge. But, on MFC, I've seen a couple of US models sell panties for between 750 and 1000 tokens shipped in the US. If they sell international, they require an additional 200-300 tokens.

Whether that is too high or not, that is up to the purchaser. If they feel it's worth it, they'll buy. If not, then the seller would need to adjust to get sales to start occurring. Along the lines of what @aurakitty said, you have many things to take into consideration: Initial purchase price, shipping costs, any expense for the packaging, your time to take to post office, and any wear time you may want to charge. I personally do not think the above prices are too far out of line, especially if the panties are higher end such as VS, Frederick's, etc. If they're part of a 6-pack from Target or Walmart that you can buy for $3.99, then yeah overpriced.
