Normally, profit will not be measured on a piece by piece basis, but the overall business operation, and then only if the operation is intended to be profitable and produce a livelihood. Selling items produced for personal used in pursuit of a hobby usually does not produce a profit because the costs of the hobby usually far exceed the income from the sales.

IMO, the biggest risk is the liability issue. Especially with strangers. I have shared reloads (at cost) with friends and relatives whom I know and trust (this generally means I know spouses and children as well) and who fully understand the risks involved, but not with strangers or casual acquaintances.
