Yikes, this thread went poorly.
Well the OP forgot the first rule of selling, it is impossible to please everyone all of the time, one mans ideal product is a piece of shit to the next man in the line, a cardboard box is a cardboard box at the end of the day, for some people that is adequate to use as a container to carry around there precious collection, to other people its not adequate because of *insert reason*, that said the OP must realize the limitations of cardboard as a medium, i use boxes to send through the mail, i expect the box to stand up to normal handling in the postal process, and in that process it will take a beating,while at the same time protecting the contents, but im under no illusion that once the package has arrived that the customer will most likely bin the box as it will be beaten up and maybe rained/snowed on, the reason we use cardboard for packing is its a cheap and robust in the short term.
At the bits and kits office we use very sturdy ABS plastic tool boxes(the segmented ones you put screws in) for all our bits, they have strong locking lids, i know that if i drop on of those boxes from 7ft it will bounce, never smash and also never unlock or mix up the bits because of the fall, i chose these boxes because i know at some point someone will drop a box and that i need to minimize the fall out if they do, same principles apply with a mini carry case, if i drop a plastic carry case on the floor out side, it might get a few scratches but its gonna be fine, if i drop a plastic case in puddle it will dry off no problem, if someone gets too close on the bus the plastic case wont crush, if a family member with poor eyesight doesnt see my plastic mini case on the chair and sits on it for a second it isnt gonna collapse(unless its aunt Margret shes a huge lady) and in my house atleast a plastic mini case isnt gonna get chucked in the recycle bin by my wife because she thought it was "another bloody amazon box".
But that aside, to the right person, this carry case is ideal, it will have a market.
Yes its cheap, but cheap also means it has limitations and short comings, dont deny them or get defensive about them, they are legit reasons for a non sale, accept the reasons or look to improve the product or expand the range, dont take internet criticism personally, people in forums will tell you the truth,or lie,or blow sunshine up your arse or spit on you, they will tell you your stuff is amazing and promise to buy shed loads and you will never see a dime from them, they will slag you off and yet never actually use your products and services,some folks you will never hear a peep from, and they will be your best customers,some will rush to your defense,big you up to others, and happily promote you to anyone that will listen,others will forget to mention you even exist despite happily buying from you for years, others will simply throw fuel on the fire and happily see you burn, just do your thing, promote your stuff, answer questions and dont get drawn into arguments online as it makes you look bad.
