I'm not really seeing much justification for the price just from a preliminary glance at the pics, but hey, i don't know shat about the cost of manufacturing and stuff, and there are plenty of other options if people don't like that price. Just looks like an average sized 60 to me, without a pcb, i would of excepted the price to be more in the 275 range, but like i said, i'm ignorant... and i don't care for PC anyway.
While I would love to be able to sell it for that low, unless I manage to sell hundreds I don't foresee that being possible. If interest turns towards that being likely, I will requote and change pricing accordingly.
A few boards that are somewhat recent (and prices have only gone up since these were made):
- PC Sirius (no pcb, POM plate, brass sheet style weight): $325
- PC Bumper (no pcb, no plate, tray mount): $295
- PC Bacca60 (no pcb, brass plate, similar sized weight but in aluminum, I designed this for Chewwy, he and 3Dkeebs ran the buy): $360
To put it into perspective, the bottom/rear weight alone is 1.1 Kg of brass that has quite a bit of machining done to be able to fit the profile properly. Also has an extra part (or three) compared to the above, which yes only adds a small portion overall but enough to more than make up the difference.
Hopefully this helps explain that a bit.
