Thanks for the kind words, everyone. It really has been a lot of fun so far.
Regarding my decision to omit shipping costs in the average price of a kettle. I asked myself; if I were to sell any kettle, would I include the cost of shipping in the price? My answer would be no, and I may be in the minority here, but my rationale is just like I wouldn't include the cost of gas, lunch, coffee, etc into the cost of a kettle, I would not include the cost of the means by which I attained any kettle, including shipping and packing materials. To include the cost of shipping and on the other hand not include the cost of gas seems arbitrary. We're sorta dancing around the age old question of what's this kettle worth, so I'll stop there.
