At Reno Bike Project we do pretty much just like Bike Farm, above. $2/cable and $1/foot of housing. Used cables and housing are free/donations accepted.

At Bike Farm we charge the following for new cable/housing:
Cables, brake or shifter $2 for non-member, $1.50 for members
Cable Housing, brake or shift $1 per foot
We save old housing and cables in a large plastic container in coils, and we do not charge for them. Free for everyone to use.

We don't keep old housing / cables as we've had problems in the past with proper storage and also just generally being too rusted to use again.
We have a suggested donations list and currently have cables at
$1.00/cable
& housing at $0.50/ft. This is definitely undercutting shops but it
hasn't
been an issue for us thus far. Possibly due to us serving different
clients
than our local shops.
Attached is our Suggested Price List. I believe we started with the Suggested Donation list from the Bike Dump in Winnipeg (thanks!) and modified from there.

Hey, how do folks price their new cables and housing? And howzabout you recycled cables and housing? Is this an area in which it's ok to
underprice
the retail markup of commercial shops, and if so what's the rationale
for
doing so per se?
We have our FIRST EVER batch of new cables and there are a number of
ideas
about how to price them. Help us with your wisdom, fam.
