I have one customer for example who needs 100 pcs of around a dozen parts a few times a year but the parts are fairly heavy and the finish is critical making them a PITA to ship and I suspect the rejection rate would be high from bouncing down the road for 1000 miles in a truck. Anyhow I sold I recently sold my oldest VMC to a guy starting a shop of his own and am thinking of offering this family of parts to him, I hate to give it away as I have special tools, fixtures, programs, offset files, pics of the set ups, tool lists, and every other damn thing required to set up and run these jobs at or around $125 per hour. It would be a good move for him and the customer in my opinion ( we have been making these for 15+ years). What kind of value could a guy put on this, it must be worth something? In the end I imagine I would give it to him rather than throw it away but was thinking something like 10% - 15% of sales to this customer for a few years would be a fair way to go. What do you guys think?
