I bet he said no:devious:
He was quite pleasant; the products look professional - but all we're seeing is the artwork. I have no idea what the physical counters and map overlays look like - thickness, quality of cutting, etc. They are cut by hand, not by a die-cutter. That hasn't been deterring people from buying these, nor should it, really. I'm curious to see the quality of the rules sheet and scenario cards, personally, so if anyone on the forum puts out some cash for these and favours us with a photo or two, I'd love to see what the physical components look like.
As for the "profit motive" - quite possible the guy is just doing it for the fun of it. Granted, he could put them up as a Buy-it-Now of 50 bucks if that was really, really true.
But there is a point at which a hobby-businessman really doesn't want to bother with mass production and just make a few bucks on a tiny bit of inventory. I went through it with my replica uniform business. I got an enquiry from a Hollywood movie company that wanted to buy from me in bulk - hundreds of uniforms and insignia. I said "no thanks" because it would have meant going on the radar with customs, revenue, etc. and been a ton of work that I simply wasn't willing to put in, whereas before I could order 10 or 12 uniforms from my suppliers overseas at a time, personalize them to each individual customer as they wanted, and get the kind of feedback and relationship with the consumer that made it all rewarding. Selling in bulk was absolutely not my idea of a fun hobby.
