We tried to figure this out at work...

How much would one staple cost to make?? Anyone know the answer because I sure as hell can't figure it out:mad:

Depends... are you talking from raw materials on up? And if you are including the work-force "production" of squeezing the stapler and producing the final product, I suppose that financial difference would be much different. After all, if Oprah stapled a 2-page fax, that staple would probably represent more than a week's pay for most of us.

I found a box of 5,000 for $1.31 on line. That would make each staple worth
.000262 ¢

And that's including profit. Heh.

Here's the convo between Olevet and his neighbor:

Neighbor: So, whatcha up to this weekend?
OV: Oh, I gotta build a smelter. Plan on makin' some staples. You need any?
Neighbor: nah, I think we're all set on staples. But thanks anyway.
