<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I have two rod racks that I made for a friend who has now decided he wants wall mounted rod racks instead. These racks are nicely finished and each holds 21 rods. These racks hold the rods securely because of their design. I have roughly 25 bucks in materials on each of these and am asking $125.00 a piece.

i agree. $125 is a lot. Especially since materials for that project are less than 40 and most anyone here is handy enough to make one them selves. Maybe $75. Maybe.....

The man knows what his time is worth (at least4 hours each from start to finish (if you are fast)...at what $25.00 a hour), besides if they don't sell and he really wants to move them the price will most likely drop. OH and over half of those here are probably tool challanged...
just read some of the "HELP" questions:bangheadI wouldn't pay that much...I can build my own, but there are many people that have no idea where to start. How many on here do you think has a table saw, drill, hole cutters, heck I know people today that don't even have but a screwdriver, hammer and maybe a pair of pliers.:doh Kind of reminds me of all those that go out and buy fishing weights:banghead:banghead:banghead For those that do:banghead:banghead...I wouldn't...I make my own. |

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Thank you Tuna Man. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

People who don?t or can?t build things have no appreciation for the time,skill and tools involved. If you were to go buy the materials to just make one of these it would be way over 25 bucks not even counting the tools needed. <o ></o ><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><o ></o ><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">With the time I spent on these I think roughly 100 bucks profit is very reasonable. <o ></o >

I think 125 is a very fair price. Then again, I value my time. If I owned a lot of rods I'd pick one of these up.

Ok. I retract my underestimated statement. I guess i am so used to doing things myself that i don't think about what my time is worth, since i am doing these things for me. They are very good looking rod holders and I hope good luck to you in selling them. You might want to see if some of the local shops would sell a few for you. Or Craigslist. Hell, maybe put together a really cool DVD tutorial and sell those on Ebay for $10 a pop. I see people do those all the time. For those of us that ARE handy and just on't know how to built that certain project.

i have a friend who bought a rod holder from bass pro or somewhere like that. it spins around. what a piece of crap that thing is. every other rod cant fit if it has a reel on it. the rod racks this dude made look sweet.

thanks for the compliments. i have also owns a few of the store bought racks and wasnt impressed with them almost all of them have the rods too close together and they dont stay secured well.
I see a lot of people have viewed this post so i guess my asking price is too high. like i said i built these for a friend and i dont have a use for them so i will let them go for $100.00 a piece. thanks |
