I don't see this happening.
People may want to change their prices....

Not only will people want to change their prices, but there are a couple of other things going on:
1. A shipwright might choose to offer some choices to their customer - "budget" made out of junk resources and "premium" out of good resources.
2. *Price* is only one part of the business model. If you see someone with a low price, you *may* find that they have a four week backlog. If you see someone with a high price, you *may* find that they spend a lot of time with you, consulting on making the components fit your flying model and constraints.
Having a listed price can be very misleading.

Agree 110%, Zen.
Build a relationship with your shipwright and your pricing will be vastly different (in my case anyway) than the generic vendor stock. I think I want to take my shipwright business model towards working with customers rather than junking crap onto a vendor and posting my 'bid price' for your convenience

I said it once before....
Props to all you guys doing ground up customization. That's a VERY time consuming task considering youre making Z-95s (or the like). Lots of time for littel profit. You guys will be way backlogged as soon as word gets out. I started a stupid fish tank business (see the link in my sig) thinking it would be a nice change from super busy WS. Boy was I wrong. I got burried in orders allmost instantly. I had a 4mil(ish) / 3 week back log of orders and since each large tank takes about 2 1/2 hours to set up it was difficult to do more then 1 at a time. You guys that have custom order lines like a doc giving buffs are crazy.... I salute you (but I don't envy you).
