Stix44 that's a terrible way to do business. What happens if it costs more than £200 per cradle to do?

surely it's cost you and sprinter more than £200 per cradle just in the amount of time you have spent trying to have copies made.

I personally wouldn't hold back charging a good amount for them bearing in mind how much the complete kits go for.

Out of the £2000 for a kit, everything can be purchased off the shelf except the cradle and a few bits of the pipework.

Which means over £1000 is just for the cradle and pipework, so tbh even selling cradles at £500 each you could still make a kit for less than they go for whole.

Plus other than a few PMs and an hour on a drawing I've spent hardly any time at all.

Your main obstacle is theres no incentive for anyone to lend you their cradle or do they get the profit?

Some people just do things because they like helping other members, not because they want to make money out of them...

if this ever gets going it will be purely to help out other people with one item that is a struggle to get

Ooh pshhh, I was just making the point that there is potential to charge a lot of money for them, but that's not why I'd be doing it.

After all this is a forum community, not a personal eBay account that people can use frequently without paying traders fees...
