hey thanx mikey and just to ask when will the mikradle we love so much be available in the DF store
To tell you the truth, I hadn't thought about distributors yet. I kind of like to stay close to my customers, and be more of a one on one with them. I've learned long time ago through my custom cabinet shop (I build high end cabinetry - wall units, entertainment centers, bars, libraries as well as custom kitchens and baths) that once the customer loses contact with the guy building his projects, the experience may be less desirable than expected.
MIKRADLE is not just a cheap, offshore (made in china) extruded plastic trinket. It's a handmade, meticulously crafted piece of art. I spend a lot of time on each one, especially with the finish - hand rubbing through 7 coats of catalyzed lacquers. You'd be surprised at how much work goes into each
MIKRADLE! This kind of handiwork lends itself to being more in touch with each buyer - something you lose when you go through distributors.
That's not to say that down the road I might contemplate something more, but for the moment - I'm concentrating on selling as I am and moving the sales end onto my own website (hopefully in another week). Okay?
I might hasten to add that I was in no way implying that the DF Store does not have quality products! On the contrary - they do have some very awesome stuff there! But what I'm talking about is that
MIKRADLE is more like a custom product - a very unique item that is almost hand tailored for each customer.
May I inquire as to why you'd like to see it sold there? Are there any negative aspects to my current venue (through my presence on eBay) or future sales on my own website? I'm all ears as to what potential buyers might be looking for.
Perhaps you can respond here

For the most part, the only reason I post is to try and feel useful or helpful to someone. I also find the search function to be occasionally inefficient (that is, a third of the time I can't find threads and topics I know were discussed unless I remember the exact specific thread title I was reading earlier, and sometimes even that doesn't help.)
