It's ok, we use him as examples too, although it's usually more funny and with a lot more obscenities


Ag, is it possible yet to have a sort of ball park estimate that people can start legitimately checking their bank accounts for? Or are we still not far enough into development for that...

I know everyone's been throwing around the $500 hammer, but do you have anything more accurate right now?

My cost to use the machines for personal profit will be $100 per hour. The cycle time on the prototype was about 2 hrs. 15 min. (one emblem) That was a first attempt and I will be able to reduce cycle time slightly on the next go-round but I'm not foreseeing a huge time savings with out affecting the look of the final product.

After that I would need to cut in Kevin (Scruffydog) for surely if money is made he is deserving of some of it.

I would have to pay $700 per year to become a vendor on this Forum.

I can not even estimate the cost of reaching a licensing agreement with Nissan or what percentage they would want.

Then you got UPS and the tax man.

I imagine few will be willing to pay the price required to cover these costs. And I'm perfectly fine with that. There is no room for profit here and I never really intended for there to be.

I see the most likely scenario as this:

5 sets get made, One for me, One for Kevin.

AK gets 70 bucks for a one month vendorship.

3 sets hit ebay.

Then I start my next project. Solid sterling silver shift knob.

Aside from the awesome work you're putting into this, it is sad that its not easier/more cost effective to make these because they are an awesome idea.
