Cost To MAKE Androseries-HMMMM

[nate3993]

I was reading a thread on AM about Androgains. Matt posted some very interesting information about the Androseries. Kind of don't know how to feel about it.

"Just sickening ,,,, everything copy and pasted from our listings....

You want truth? cost for AndroMass was $58
AndroHard was $44
AndroLean was $38
AndroDrive was $32
AndroBulk was $65

Pretty damn spendy cost --- but $300 bucks? and you cannot trust they did the honest to god rigorous testing and verification Pp did to make sure measures were met -- bottling and boxing were spendy and softgels were hefty too...

-Matt"

fuk though. 38 bucks to produce lean, but sold for 130? and they couldn't make much profit? something just doesn't seem right. like i said though, idk what to think. i wanna hear what you guys think.

I assume that's just for raws, not marketing, r&d, shipping, packaging, softgelling, etc, etc, etc.

Unless you're in business, it would be hard to tell what it cost to get the product to the customer's door. Most paid 25% less than MSRP. Then there's employee cost, building, etc.... as stated by Eden.

Most paid 20-40% off. Stores bought at 50-60% off. A ton of money went into marketing, then employees, etc...

Think about how much a bottle of coke probably costs a massive company like coca cola to produce. Pennies, maybe?? But they have to pay all their employees, all the marketing, etc...

Rusty on the details, but I believe this is correct. Tons of money spent on a lot more than the raws. And lots of $$ spent on r&d for the next latest and greatest, which is how we got the androseries in the first place.

All the times I got to hang out with Eric, he never seemed like mr. money bags to me. At all. Nate, think you can pm me or post the link to that thread? I hardly ever go there anymore and trying to navigate that site gives me a fucking headache. I really don't know whats going on there anymore.

Seems like a huge margin but we will probably never know what the true overhead was to run PP....

As someone with something more than a passing interest in this, x2 all the qualifications that others already have mentioned. 'Nuff said for now!

Overhead was much higher than you would imagine. It was far in the red for most of the time it operated. $300k in debt when doors closed. Even after massive streamlining, they just "got by". Eric was/is a visionary. Sometimes budget goes out the window when you are passionately pursuing a goal. Unfortunately, you gotta pay for that at some point.

dont forget government dues....tax's, license fees, renewal fees, and space rent is very expensive in portland, plus portland is very UN-friendly to small business's
