I like the idea but it depeneds what the kit will cost. I am sure some implements like a middle buster would not be worth it to do it yourself. It would be nice if you could give us a idea of what it would cost on something like a box blade.
You could even announce a couple week run time where members could sign up for a particular implement kit. If 10 or 20 people came on board you wouldn't have to stock kits, you could create them from orders.
Well I think until more thought is put into it and thoughts of shipping it may be hard t come up with cost.
The more I read and think about it, I wonder with individual shipping if there would really be a cost advantage? Shipping multiples to a dealer is definitely cheaper than shipping one item to an individual especially when shipping freight.
Shipping will probably kill any real incentive on an individual basis. I think a dealer type of deal would have to be created to make it work.
I could see the shipping portion of the purchase actually being more than what you pay for the kit but, overall- the total price would be less than a pre-assembled model.
The whole concept is not much different than what "cad diggers" is doing. You can buy all the pre cut pieces to assemble as opposed to having to source the metal and make all the cuts yourself.
I'm already coming up with my list............hope the wife doesn't find out
