Default I'm thinking about selling plants

I'd like some help with a few things.

I'm not selling to make a living just to pay for my hobby as a start and I'll see where that takes me.

I should be able to move plants, I already talked to one Feed-N Seed store that will buy from me, I go to monthly farmers Markets and could use Craigslist and Facebook to sell along with getting more stores to sell to.

I've been crunching numbers and it seems the flat, insert and soil will be between $2.32-$2.48 a flat and the seed cost will always change depending on variety.

How is everyone pricing plants and figuring out what you need to make per flat/6 pak to make it worth your time?

How sells the cheapest plant labels?

How big do you want you're plants when it's time to plant in your area?

Is it better to sell 4 paks instead of 6?

Do bigger plants in bigger pots sell better?

Do you have a cost calculator for MS Office to figure out costs? What about a soil calculator to figure out how much soil you need per flat?

That's enough for now but I'm sure I'll have more later.
