How many of you are old enough to remember the SeaBee? A little amphibious plane apparently built for the recreation market. I remembering seeing them years ago.
I was an an Airshow and there was one on display with a sign giving the history with some detial I did not know: They were sold at $3995 back in the late 1940s. One thousand were sold but then production was stopped. It seems someone finally did a production cost analysis and discovered each one was costing $13,000 to build.
If you have a spare nine million floating around somewhere I gues you can do things this way, but I think it is better to do the cost analysis before setting the selling price.
