GroovyTuesdaY:
I had placed an order for a 2 player deluxe control panel (empty) so i could build my own setup and i went back there today so i could guide my sister and friend into getting something for themselves and i noticed something quite ODD.   I had bought my panel for 43.50 + shipping and today the price is set at $70.00!!!!! I bout crapped!
I have sent them an email as to why the sudden and dramatic price hike , so i will have to wait and see what he says, but man, thats kinda nuts.   Especially for a company thats fairly new on the scene. I would think that you wouldn't want to be jackin prices around  like that. Its one thing to start them out at a higher price to begin with (SLIKSTIK!!), which  to me slikstiks empty panels are a little overboard on price for an empty panel, but thats just me, but when a newer company starts moving prices around like that , that makes me ponder a little.

Just thought i would send the word out there about it. I saw it, so i thought i would report the news.

groovy :D

 I purchased one at the $40 mark as well and the very next day it was listed at $70. They likely realized that the ammount of work to make it / demand for it, that they could raise the price and still sell them. Even at $70 it's not a bad price for what you get.

I would imagine that he has been receiving more orders than he can handle and this is a nice way of slowing them down a bit.  From his site, it appears he does not have an abundance of free time (2 hr/day commute). He also describes his construction of a small CNC machine for speeding the construction process/standardizing quality, which would suggest a change in the status quo (eg. increased sales).

Commercially, $40 was quite inexpensive for a laminated, empty control panel with the holes already drilled out.

I received an email back about it and it seems that he was having some trouble with his website software and now it is remedied.    
It shows the discount of $25 from the $70.00, so if your looking for a empty control panel,  thats an awesome deal!
I will post my review of mine when i get it. :)

Thanks fort clearing it up charlie! :)  You have been great about responding to emails and answering questions.

groovy~
