Help required please - Wax Melts

Hi All,
I have been making wax melts for 5-6months and after friends suggesting that i should sell i am now considering it however, I am just not sure how to price and I'm not sure how to work this out.
I work in grams and mls for fragrance oils. Any help is very much appreciated!

Thanks

    Have a look on ebay, where home-made wax melts are being sold in vast quantities, and see what is selling (look under the 'sold' function, not just at active listings) and for how much. There are any number of commercial and 'home' manufacturers trying to flog these, so you'll need to be sure you have an excellent product which stands out from the crowd and is keenly priced to stand any chance of selling.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    Often you will look on ebay and think how on earth are they selling completed/nicely packaged items for less than your basic stock alone.

    Sometimes they have no idea what its costing them and maybe making a loss, or they are buying in bulk at huge discounts
    and will easily undercut you.

    I buy a lot of bits and pieces from China and quite often I can get 100 for the same price as buying 2 single items.
    Some items are suspiciously cheap, possibly a waste product from another process.
