A customer asked me how much it cost to make 30pcs. invitations.

๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Masyado namang mahal, tapos 30pcs. lang?
๐ ๐ฒ: How much do you think it would cost you?
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: 1000php maximum... Madali lang naman yon diba?! Saka mura lang mga papel tapos print lang.๐
๐ ๐ฒ: Ok, since magkakilala naman tayo pwede namang ikaw ang gumawa. ๐
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Pero hindi ko alam kung paano...๐
๐ ๐ฒ: For 1000php tuturuan kita, nakasave ka pa ng 2,000php. You'll get the knowledge na kailangan mo. ๐
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Sige, pwede na din.๐
๐ ๐ฒ: But to get started: May mga kailangan tayong gamit:

๐ ๐ฒ: I'm sorry, but I'm only available on Thursday to teach you and lend you my stuff. Other days are busy with other customers na kasi. ๐
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Okay! That means I'm going to have to sacrifice my Thursday and give up my other tasks.๐ฃ
๐ ๐ฒ: I forgot. To do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the non-productive factors.๐
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Totoo ba? Ano naman yun?๐ฒ

๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: Jusko! Ang dami ko namang babayaran at masasayang na oras bago ako makagawa!๐ฒ Sige. Yung mga gamit ok naman na?
๐ ๐ฒ: Sure, nasa akin naman na yung ibang gamit, but for the paper you need to order this sa Manila dahil wala non dito sa atin. Shipping fee ranges from 250- 400php.
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: 30 pcs. Lang tapos ganun na agad price sa shipping? Wala pa yung price ng papel don?๐
๐ ๐ฒ: Actually may cutting fee pa na 100. Saka hindi pasok yung order mo sa minimum. Kaya may sosobra kang 70pcs. sa oorderin mong paper.โ๏ธ
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ: 1,000 sa turo, 1000 sa rent ng stuff, 1000 na lang kulang para ikaw gumawa.๐ Konti nalang din naman ang idadagdag ikaw na pala gumawa.๐
When you pay for a job, especially handcrafted, you pay not only for the material used, but also:
- Knowledge
- Experience
- Study
- Tools
- Services
- Time to go
- punctuality
- Accountability
- Accuracy
- Guaranteed
- Sacrifices
- Safety and security
No one can denigrate other people's work by judging prices.
Only by knowing all the elements necessary for the production of a certain work can you estimate the actual cost.
