Would you quit your job if you could make just as much building arcades?

I've sold a few cabs to pay for the hobby and there was a ton of pride that came from that. Because it's a hobby I never included my labor time in any markup, only the cost of supplies. Doing it full time as a job, you would have to take everything into account to get to the right price. That being said, I would definitely do it if I was guaranteed to make what I do now.

Hmmm... someone just asked me how much to commission a cabinet after seeing the one I'm working on right now. I'm pretty sure that I'd have to charge too much to make it worth while. I'd consider doing it for cost but even that is pricey...

That's the way I am. If I make $5 profit on something that took me 5 hours to do in one of my hobbies, I still feel good about it.

Here is a good way to price something.
Add up what it cost, double it and then add a third.

It would be totally perfect for me. I hate working with people. They're all peopley.

Maybe you two should get in business together - one sales, the other manufacturing.
