good stuff - what do people think the retail price should be roughly.

Well for what it does I would consider it to be a £6 tool but I imagine it costs about 20p for them to make so once all other costs are factored in as well as your profit margins (without knowing what you're paying) I would personally price it at around the £7-10 mark as it's a very nice tool.

I would have said around a fiver would be a fair price

So maybe £6 on the bay

it will work from about 8.2mm-11.5mm ish

My tip's 8.5mm, so I could cut mine in half and sell the big end to someone with a >10mm tip.

It's a difficult because Dupont will want to see a good return on there investment, but because they've built it to last there's little chance of repeat business. Best to take all they've got and control the price yourself if you can.
£5 wouldn't be unreasonable and is on a par with similar products out there. If you package this with loctite gel, a swann morton scalpel, and 3 elks you'd have the ultimate retipping kit that you could easilly ask £20 for if you throw in a copy of your retipping guide.

LOL. . I take that as a compliment.

To be fair though, I'd only sell it for half of what I paid, 0 / 2 =
