Looks awesome! I don't think its unreasonable at all to charge a little extra. After all, it is your time you using to make these. I'd happily pay more than £3 for one, and I will if you do make up another batch!

Mine looks great I gave you over £5 as its worth more than what you were asking and a fast delivery and up to date progress.

You could always make different parts... Like the little circle emblems for the chrome interior door handles and gear sticks, something like that :)

The last lot took about 30 mins to make and a couple of hours to administer! If I had a better admin system which took a similar time to the production I could probably do about 10 in an hour. At about half my rate of pay that would add £2 per unit. So would £5 be reasonable and would folk pay it?

Not counting my time I've broke even on the material costs from the first batch and then paid the postage. But are there enough customers and would they pay £5?

What do they say?, speculate to accumulate! Not giving up the day job just yet!

I used number plate double sided tape.

I could do quite a few bits and bobs but don't know if it's worth the hassle. I have quite a few bits of fancy cad cam and the ability to use it all but not always the time

Cheers

If you make people but there tmf user name in the paypal notes, that would make life a lot easier :)
And I'm sure lots of people would have custom requests, hence why I hinted to what I want ;)

I too would pay more than the original price. A matching switch panel would be a good idea too ;)

They look pretty awesome, and I would say £5 is definitely a reasonably price I'd love one
