Default CNC mill owners, do you make any money from your machines

Iggy,
I think the odds are not in your favor, but this machine will allow you to cut radiuses, arcs, scrolls and do threads, which are
very difficult to do manually. I envy you and I wish you success with your mill. I would love to have an NC mill, but cannot
justify its cost for a hobby.


So far, my cost is up to $1,628. It is somewhat understated due to use
of consumable materials that I do not count, such as wire and fork
terminals etc, and some things that I bought and did not use. But it
would not make a huge difference. I still have not sold the original
CRT monitor, which would reduce my final cost.

Do any of you guys who own CNC mills, sell your products online? I am
thinking of something like this: say, I find some part that sells on
ebay and that is easy to make. I would write a program to make it and
then would list that stuff on ebay. I would then only make them when
they are actually purchased so I do not sit on a pile of inventory.

Has anyone tried doing that sort of thing. Thanks
