FB Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 i'd be interested but really depends on cost etc. :) What are you going to build it from??, will you follow the same lines as Gav did with his beet harvester and get it cast?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I would be interested but the same as Ben would depend on cost and when you would have it ready etc......Being on a tight budget...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Spud, I'm sure many people would buy one but you have to think that people are going to be spending their hard earned cash on these so they really need to see what they are getting for there money before they commit to buying one from you, knock one together and post up some pictures.... The more gasps you get then the more you charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more gasps you get then the more you charge. Also, once you've made one, you'll have a better understanding on wether you think it's worth going on to making any more, or if you have got tired of making them and want a change, so what was enjoyable could soon become a chor.

Light Land Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 One thing most of the guys that sell there work on here do is ask... How much do you want to spend on this model??? that way you can detail it in line with the price and sell more models Eg:mart and olly both being hard core Grimme fans can still have a model all be it a basic one and old money bags FB can have a model also all be it a gold one . I'm half pie keen for one,so I'll keep a close eye on this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Land Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Good thing I don't have to pick between a wife and a grimme every one knows what one i'd take so no point putting it down. All the best with the wedding by the way Ben. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light Land Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Kinda makes it more cool when you only get a few models each year I think.This Grimme GZ1700 will need a good eye keeping on it hey,if all is well with the model we might both have to save up.

fenryk Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 i'm the same as you, i need to budget for everything!! ....and with a wedding looming its gonna be tough :'( :'( :'( :'( There is no problem budgeting in your situation Ben. You have zilch to spend. It makes life much easier as you do not have to make any difficult decisions about what you can and can't get - the answer is nothing. However, they do say marriage brings compensations - I'm still living in hope, after 28 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
