| Is there a market for custom CPs in the $300-400 range? |

I see these CPs on ebay and various sites for like $595 - $695 and personally I don't really care too much for the artwork. I have been building machines and am thinking about offering up control panels for between $300-$400 so I am wondering is there a market for that? I am guessing shipping would run about $75 with UPS? (just guessing here) but we could make up some nice CPs with usb/ps/2 connectors that could be dropped right ito a mame cab OR just used as a PC controller. So is there a market out there for these? Here are a couple we have made: a not very good pic of my AvP *the red circle "after treatment" is because its from a thing about repairing scratched resin the buttons all light up they look pretty sweet |

Might be a market but not here where we all (most) build our own. |

Even at $400 what would your profit margin look like? The controls + encoder + buttons aren't cheap. Plus there's materials and your time. I don't know. |
