The DIY: 3D Chess Set[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Thank you Mr. Smith for taking the time to respond to my post, and yes I think it’s very cool! and like I said to Ben Reiniger in an earlier post, I like to keep things basic and simple; thus my choice to use PVC's; but yes, constructing and perfecting the prototype was quite expensive and even though the project is constructed entirely of PVC pipes and parts it will still cost quite a bit. But on avarge and compated to prior art designs, still less.

I lined up a company call Flex PVC.com and was told that they can put together a kit (all parts and precut pipes and glue) for me for no less than $300. Not including shipping and handling). If I add my markup to cover overhead expense the entire kit mayvcost anywhere from $400 to $500 dollars.

What do you think, is this an acceptable price, will it sell, should I mark-it-down and take a lost?

Mr. Duke, Hello

With many variants requiring more than one player I for saw my device being very handy in that regards; players can analyze, explore and play a single shared board between them or play on multiple boards without having to constantly rise and move; risking upsetting the board.
