| Poll: What's a fair price for cabinet plans? |
| << < (5/7) > >> |
| Turnarcades:
Templates are great as long as you secure them in place properly, though like you say the cost of printing one seems excessive when it's likely to be ruined and thrown away after one use. I'm always available for advice so that wouldn't be a problem. At least if I do this I can say hand on heart that they were put together by me. I spent a couple of years testing plans, dimensions and models I developed from scratch. I've seen a-holes on ebay selling reprints of Saint's book, Lusid's plans and all sorts. |

--- Quote from: leapinlew on February 12, 2008, 08:50:09 am ---I was serious about the $20. When I first started - I would've paid that much for plans. plans that are life size would be the best. Even if I had to tape together sheets of 8 1/2"x11" paper, plans that would allow me to trace and cut. I was scared of drawing plans as well as measuring. --- End quote --- I agree completely. The ability to have a full size plan is of the utmost importance. I can look at plans all day long but when it comes down to taking the design and measurements on paper, onto the wood. I'm liable to choke! Not everyone is blessed with a terrific mechanical ability to do these sorts of things. IOW, I wouldn't even offer the plans if there wasn't a way to print them off to have full size. Taping together the sheets would not be a problem for me. If you could do this for $20, You've got one future customer right here! |

--- Quote from: shardian on February 12, 2008, 08:19:41 am ---$10 is about as much as you get I think. --- End quote --- I disagree actually...that is about 5 quid which won't even get you 2 beers (in a pub) over here. I am sure there are people who would believe good cabinet plans are worth more than that...the kind of people looking for plans anyway. I hear what many of you are saying, and agree most people here wouldn't neccessarily buy them, and they would have to be nicely put together. I think you could probably get £20 if there are accompanying photos etc...of course if you can sell them for less and still make a profit then you would probably sell more. |

All depends on the format of the plans. $20 - should include printed plans sent in the mail in full color with everthing from A to Z on building a cab. Recommendations on software might be a bonus. $10 - Everything above but in digital format. $5 - Just the dimensions and some semblance of order without a very detailed writeup - digital copy. Just remember, Saint's book can be found for $20 on amazon, so use that as a basis. |

I think for someone that wants a basic plan with stuff already figured out wouldn't mind spending $20.00. |
