So you need to have a minimum run of 50 otherwise no-go? Wow.
Well, good luck, let's see who's really serious. That's a good chunk of money.

No, the ones from the DDB are more of a welding project. Ber's are a single unit. Big difference.

You state that you need to reach a "safe barrier" otherwise you refund the deposits. With no "safe barrier" defined, and you want to make 50 sets, it stands to reason that 50 is the minimum limit.

Indeed - no one needs to know that !
In the end the more intrested parties the better - how many times have you done business with someone who said he will buy and disappears
The idea of the barrier is having some deposits with the idea in mind when everyone closes the deal after they are made I will have the investment back
I am not talking of profit as you can imagine is next to nothing in relation to the investment
Enough interfering - you all know who I am and what I am capable of
I just want to proof to myself that I can do this and make my degrees worth the 7 years extra going to school to finally do something that I can put my efforts in and contribute to the ACVW scene and the TIII community in specific

I already have some people willing to even pay in full
Still need more intrest though - I will have my last business meeting at the 22th of August
In the end I will have at least one set made just for fun - no matter the cost
It's mainly the US guys I am missing in the project - step up please !
