True, for general items they save you loads, but all 3 in my area don't stock certain things I need, that people on here from the US say "they just nipped to a Home Depot for". Come to think of it, for two developed countries in a similar economic state, we always seemed to get short-changed here in England for things that are much cheaper in the US. Take arcade parts for a start.... |

I will look into full-size prints and see if it's viable for my plans. Elsewhile, I will stick with scaled plans and leave the price to reflect as much. As is always the case, and mentioned by ratzz, Regardless of what extra is in a £20 plan, £5 plans will appeal to more cos it's more like spare change. In terms of the UK, £20 is a night in the pub, or a new console game, whereas a fiver doesn't really get much. That said, I could also do various grade kits, with budget plans, plans with full-size templates, and complete plans with rare parts etc. |

I don't think anyone has expressed any hatred. You've asked for people's honest opinions, and they've given them ... would you rather flowery but insincere responses ? Some people will be prepared to pay a modest sum for professionally designed plans that are meticulously documented. Others aren't prepared to pay for plans, given that alternatives can be downloaded for free. You'll have a market, but it will be a finite group of people. I guess the only way to know whether the price is right, is to put them on sale, and see how many orders start rolling in. You could always start off by "testing the waters" with an "introductory price" which is on the low side ... if you're swamped with orders (let's hope so), then you can raise your price at the conclusion of the introductory period ... conversely, if the level of interest is OK without being spectacular, then this can remain your permanent price. |

There's also no reason to do away with the "introductory" price if plans aren't selling like hotcakes. That'll allow you to mark up if/when they do. Remember too that sales don't have to be a lower price either. A "sale" price only means that the price is intended to be temporary. |

Like others here, depends on the quality and depth. If you have step by step with very very clear instructions and pictures. Exact sizes, materials ect then it should be fine (even digital) for 20 bucks. But really, you need way MORE then sizes. you need examples, things to watch out for. Examples, ect. part numbers for large chains ect. screw sizes needed. Side of the line you should cut on... that kind of detail. Basically something that if you have never read the forum, you would have one place to read to get a full cab running without having to search or ask instructions. If you will send templates... I would say 50 - 100 depending on the sizes of the printouts. But you will have to spend that much on the oversize printouts. And I don't think they give you that much anyway. Anything less, and I would say 5 bucks or so. Mainly because there are so many others out there, why spend the money. BTW, you might want to find someone here that is about to build a new cabinet. And give them a copy, and take comments / review. IE, a beta test. This will probably make it really worth the money. Good luck. |
