I hadn't made a litho in a few years and needed some advice and after getting it from Dave and Davo I applied it and then cut it and this is the result. I think it turned out pretty good.

Brian,
I've never sold one either...all the ones i've done were either for family or because i was trying to do something nice for someone. In that instance the time you put into it is of no consequence but if you wanted to make a profit you'd have to charge at least $300.00 or more.

I've had a lot of luck selling them, $300 is not realistic though, can't see how you'd need to get that much but to each their own.
I sell mine for anywhere from $75 to friends to $150 for non friends ... Doubt if I have $15 in parts, machine does most of the work so its mostly labor. Setting the machine to cut, making the box and installing the lights I maybe have 1.5 hours of my time invested if that, so $100 I feel is worth while. I sell alot to carpenters [since I'm a union carpenter] some guys want to make their own boxes so I sell even cheaper, I just have to cut the litho and supply the electronics.
