As a ex businessman, are you sure you can make enough profit on $200, there are lots of extra costs on selling things

For example you can make a speed reducer from standard parts for about $50 but making it , selling costs and time costs in making, talking to customers, packaging, going to post office etc all add up considerably

I would be interested. I've been thinking about getting my own embosser for a while but the prices have held me back.

I do  realize that but it’s in design .Should be ready to Go in about two weeks . just wanted to see if I should possibly market it since I made and designed  this for myself , because $600 for one seems ridiculous.

I’m interested. Did you make one yet?

I have one I'm selling - but not for that price.  That's under my "buddy" price.  You see 'em for twice that and they sell quickly - so if you can make one that works reliably and sell for $200 I would think you would stay busy for a bit.  I recommend stop discussing and start doing.  Has it been two weeks yet?

A little confused here. I mean, the whole “stop discussing and start doing” thing. Is this not a forum? Did someone not say they are building one and curious about the market months ago? 
I mean, I just don’t really know how to take your reply. Was it you that said that, or just you answering my question to him? 
If you have one for sale, I would like to know the price and what you have. 
Being on a public forum, I’m assuming everyones not getting a “buddy” price, yet I am also assuming a “buddy” price wouldn’t be advertised.

I'm interested, but pictures would be helpfunctie. Prices here in Holland are ridicule, and handmachines are not available for small businesses.

We do NOT have one for sale.  We HAD one for sale, but my buddy spoke up said he wants it, and he gets the "buddy" price.... I wouldn't list it for sale at the price HE gets (including about 9 er 10 embossing rolls tossed in).

So I was simply answering the guy's original question... YES, YOU SHOULD make them and list them if you can do it for $200.

I just wanted to state that I'm also very interested in the $ 200,- machine.

No trouble -- I'd prefer a guy ask just like you did than assume he knew what I meant, when he DIDN"T know what I meant ;)
