Pricing your resources on TES or anywhere else online is a tricky art form with no right or wrong ways to do it. However, I use this daily as a rough guide. Note I said Rough guide. These are your resources at the end of the day, you price as to what you feel is right and fair.
Most people make the mistake of undercutting their competition, that is not a recommended strategy!
