As you read in the beginning ov my next paragraph, I make very little “profit” & our United States Post office keeps raising the price for their services at a minimum ov $4.32 & up for mailing your purchase. I work awfully close with my selling prices! I figure my cost of materials + my Shipping & Handling and about 5%-15% profit so I can afford to buy more materials. Leather is expensive, TOOLS are VERY costly & this is one ov my hobbies, you will notice that I re-use the envelopes that I get my medications in from the VA so I can save money . Also please remember that eBay takes almost 15% ov my selling price which does not leave me much profit. This is way I can do what I enjoy and provide a quality product that U can enjoy and pass-on from generation to generation . People that do leather work as a profession usually take cost of material + hours X’s 3= HIGH RETAIL, (not me). I take my cost +/- 15% = what you pay Stai-Nu CUSTOM Design Co, aka, (Bob B). E verything is Hand Made right here in Dania Beach Florida, U.S.A. ….. and YES I was a Military Police sergeant in the United States Army I ask you if you are happy with my service & product, please respond to eBay & maybe even put my eBay address out in your face book page, with all ov that being said, this Old Vet thanks you once again. FYI, I made my first holster in the year ov 1954…. U do the math. I, as an ex-cowboy AND as a Leather craftsman, cannot compete with Chinas’ prices . B U T what I can do that they don’t do , is that I can AND do make ur purchase personalized. Everything that I create starts out as a hide of LEATHER. I make my own patterns and I then trace it, cut it out. I then do whatever I have to produce a fine quality hand crafted ALL LEATHER creation that you helped me create. I hand sew whatever needs to be stitched. What I do is commonly known as "Saddle Stitching" and it too, is done by hand. Some of my customers want me to personalize their order. Personalized work could be anything as simple as dying (not paint) your order to your choice ov color, or simply stamping YOUR initials or as expensive as " hand tooling " their order, (floral, animal or even insect motif). CUSTOM work sometimes requires me making a "working" template along with a drawing of the tooling (which involves hours of work) . I then, either email this oak tag replica and the customer and then they send me their approval at which time I give the customer a quote on the price. with all of this being said, I then expect the customer to pay me a 50% NON-REFUNDABLE deposit through my account with " Pay Pal ”. E verything is Hand Made right here in Dania Beach Florida, U.S.A. ….. and YES I was a Military Police sergeant in the United States Army My initials are BB and my # is 8 (eight) so you will see my signature on everything that I create: My number is 8 & by extending the down stroke of the Y in "by", to dissect the 8 in half, I now have back-to-back "B's". IF U don’t see my signature, then it’s not an original.
