From Ken:
Hey Ejayce,
The reason why I posted it up is to see if I would get at least 15. You're perhaps more in tuned with what the FC community wants and what theyre willing to pay. I actually ditched the Panspeed project a loooong time ago because there was not enough demand before. We're talking 2 years ago at least. That is why I was surprised that the hood had arrived as I told my source in Japan to sell the hood ( I bought it thinking there would be demand) in Japan at a lost if he could as the project is terminated. I guess he was never able to sell it and sent it over in the container. I figured that if I could not get enough individuals, I would simply sell the hood and terminate the project once again.
The main cost comes from prepping the original part to our standard. Im not sure how it even fits at this point. I prefer ome fitment. If it has issues, that's more work and $$$. We also produce nothing but quality standard molds at this point which cost $$$$. If 15 guys can't come up with $400 for a quality , rare, functional hood such as this, I don't know what to say. The reason I wanted to price to hood very low in my opiniion is because we wanted to cover the initial cost of the project right from the start and at $400 per piece, we will need at least 15 orders. Then after 15.... we would start actually making some money selling these at $500.
15 x $400 = 6000.
$6000/5 = $1200
You might as well buy the original if you're willing to pay that much. OF course I feel our version will be better and easier to acquire, but it won't be significantly beneficial. That is the delemma with selling 5 hoods.
