How much time did it take for you to wrap it? I usually say for myself if I were paying myself minimum wage and it exceeds that then I rather pay someone else.

  People usually would only be paid minimum wage for the hours they work in a day (~8). So just pretend you gift wrap after those hours, where you are paid $0/hr.

    It is a way to measure if something is really expensive. Another way to look at it is that $90 is about a regular night out. The choice is between investing 1 evening of your time to save for 1 night out later, or instead invest nothing but lose one night out that you need to spend in front of the TV. YMMV, but probably the tipping point in GP specific situation is that he also had to post them all by himself, which is a huge pain and is probably alone worth it to have amazon do it.

      That $90 wasn't just put into time spent wrapping. There is the (negligible) cost of the wrapping paper and the cost to re-ship them. If the cost of shipping was more then $6 per item...
