[simpits-tech] RE: F-16 knobs

[Steve Wilson]

Understood about the molding, Marv - but then again, $900 for a set 
of 17 knobs?  Wow - that's a pretty steep startup investment, and I 
understand why it's a bit of an obstacle. 

When you get to the point where you're ready to go, it sounds like 
you'd need at least 15 -20 orders to split up that cost, plus the 
cost of labor, materials and profit, to get the price for the 46 
knobs into the $200 to $300 range.  All with a sizeable 
non-refundable downpayment to secure the order.  Sound about right?  
Think you'd have that many customers?  And would you be doing 
business direct to us, rather than going through a third party?

I'm just asking questions like this to keep the hope alive.  It's 
been a bit since you allowed as to your intentions to do this, and 
it's a big time and money investment - not to mention effort.  Easy 
to see why it's found a comfy spot on the back burner.  

Not tryin' to nag - tryin' to be understanding.  And.... patient 
too!!  ;-)
