...he must really think his time is worth more than the materials to build the thing...I hope this guy has a real job cuz he prolly don't sell many of those cases! 
how much would you charge for somthing like that???,
Holy Moly!!!
Three times the price than I pay for mine up here in Canada.
I have a fellow who custom builds for my sub models and
charges $ 45.00 CDN for a 24x6x8 case....hardwood and acrylic.
I guess he won't be selling too many.
Cheers,
I do a bit of woodworking, and those prices do seem to have a generous profit margin.
If you think he's too much, then move along to another vendor. No need to tear anyone else down in the process.
There are those of us who aren't handy enough to build our own cases,
Hey Martin, did you read ALL the posts????...I wasn't the only one with a big "?" about his prices!
I'm jumping on late here but here are my two cents. If you don't want to buy them don't.
Personally I think it crazy that some people pay far more than the price of a kit to add resin upgrades, P.E. sets, sometimes even multiple P.E. sets from different manufacturers for the same kit, after market decals, and then order special paint that is exactly matched to just the right color of the original. But if that is what they want to do, and they have the money, great for them. Then after putting all that time and money into making a work or art is it too strange that they will they want to pay top dollar for a case to display it properly? Somebody mentioned Mercedes. You don't see too many of those rusting out in front of a house, instead of sitting in a proper garage.
If this fella is a proper craftsman, and makes his cases a labor of love, then he deserves to get whatever he can from them. If somebody doesn't want to pay the toll, or can build a case themselves they wouldn't be ashamed of, then nobody is holding a gun to their head to buy this guy's case.
By the way I'm glad the moderator removed the unnecessary text abbreviation that this post originally had in it's title.
