[QUOTE="Jbird22, post: 5850454, member: 11506"] REN, sure materials are not expensive. But factor in $800 into a press and tape cutter plus your time in building them and you have to build/sell a LOT of calls to truly make any money. The reason you see so many presses for sale is people realize it's not all it's cracked up to be. Personally, I build my calls on a hand jig I designed/built. I only build a handful to sell just to help offset material cost. If I factored in my hourly cost of what my job pays me into making mouth calls, my per call price would probably look ridiculous too. As for pot calls, I remember when $40 would get a nice pot call. Heck, I saw where Lonnie Sneed is getting $80 plus shipping for his pot calls now. Halloran's stuff is dang near $100 now. I have calls from both guys and paid half of what they're asking for them now. Everything is getting outrageous is all I'm saying. [/QUOTE]
