I sell them at $85 in oil finished woods.

I was just looking at the pricing chart on Penn State and I think their range is on the low side.

When you look up any pen kit on Penn State they now have a graph just above the kit price showing the range PS users are selling the kit for. You can click in and then see what blank was used with the kit and its reported price.

I disagree with PS publishing this information in an open manner as they do. I feel that inforfaortion should only be made available to "registered users" of the site. At this point I can show someone a pen and say I am asking $85. They go home and Google Bolt Action Pen and Penn State will come up high in that search. With a few simple clicks now I am having to convince people why my pens are worth the high end of the scale and not the low end. My quality is better, this market is more expensive, my blank cost is higher, etc.... I don't mind the info being out there but it should be a lttle harder to get.
