Card stands and displays

I am thinking of making some card stands and display cases. I have 10 years worth of left over stair material from houses that I have built. Because I have nothing invested in the wood I should be able to sell them at a much lower price than others. I am not plaining on building anything too fancy at first. People here have asked others about the single card stands . I am thinking about making them to order at what ever length someone wants and charge on a per card length fee. I figure those would work out great for putting in things such as tv counsels with glass doors or to display on a shelf out in the open or anywhere else. I could even make some 2,3,or 4 or so layers deep with each layer stepped up higher. I could make the wall displays like the ones I have seen without doors on the front. I would like to get some opinions on what people would like and any pictures of anything you guys have bought or would like to buy. I would really like to make a quality product that I can sell at a much cheaper price and still make plenty of money. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Many people have no interest when somebody else is making a profit on something. Me, I don't care who makes what, as long as your product is what you say it is and I like it then I would buy it, thats all that theres to it.

    I have seen many people burn with jealousy when I made a good profit on something, so I know what i'm talking about image

    Not saying everybody here is like this, maybe just a little little hand full, but most people are good and will not care who makes what and got better things to do.

    Don't worry if it looks like theres no interest, do it anyway and you can always list them up on ebay, people are always looking for this kind of stuff there, and yes people here would buy too, you just gotta have a finished product they can see.

    Just my observation and opinion.

    I wouldn't say I'm not interested -- but have no idea as to the quality of your workmanship, and your intended price-point. Find the right mix of those two and I think lots of folks would be interested. Since you can save on supplies, how long would it take you to fill orders -- what's your time worth? image

    What did you expect... people to start placing orders like crazy without you even doing minimal leg work to develop a prototype of your own?

    Put some time in and show us what you can do.

    Do people like you even read the topic before you reply. I clearly asked for an idea of what kind if displays people like so that I could build what people want. Also I did not ask for any orders at this time.
