There are several pricing discussions at penturners.org.
They all boil down to 2-4 times your material costs.
The range is wide, from guys who just want to offset their hobby costs, to guys who make some money as a part time side business, to guys who make a full time living off their pens. Some guys are super detailed with spreadsheets covering super glue costs and whether it was on sale when they bought it. Other guys just roll it all in and call it a wash.
The result of most of those discussions is that if you are happy and the customer is happy, then you've done something right.
