you said it brother!
you can spend lots of time building a CBG but others just aren't going to see it as highly valued as we'd like.
i say, leave the build-n-sell stuff for the guys that can build the good ones, and who are able to support the customer base.
i've found it's much more fun to give them away or trade them like baseball cards.
anyone up???? would anyone like to build and trade for a signed "Uncle Crow"? i'll trade with anyone! it's like pokemon, gotta catch em all!

Jef raised a very good point that I had forgotten.
Not all folks can buy right that moment,I'm asked for cards every day.My stock answer is , and its true, that" I'm WAY too cheap to have cards printed,instead my poor wife sits down and writes out a ton at a time, one by one.That gets a laugh as I explain that printed cards cost money, that I'd have to turn around and tack on to the CBG,so to keep THEIR cost down, we write our cards.
My "be back" rate hits roughly about 75%, thats pretty dang good in my area, where everybodies "coming back later in the week"as they say.
Jef I'd suggest when you go out and busk, to take at least 1 extra CBG with you, or take one you dont mind selling on the spot if you can get a bite.Thats what I'd do if I was busking.
But Shane and Sam are right. If you want to sell, you need to play. That's the only way I could ever imagine someone making a living (or part of one) off building CBGs.
