803t/flexdrive/clear lens/RCR123A/aluminum case

Well I was thinking that I could get a ~$40 profit on each of those ,(depends on shipping, I'll have to check).And I just wanted to see if I could potentially sell a few to make a nice $200 for a little work. :-/
It also depends if I can get free aluminum bars like I plan that I could machine in some casings.And the battery choice will depend on the thinckness of those bars also.So they may be 2xAAA or 2xAA instead.....Anyway, roughly , what would you say?

I'd need more specs.

Like what? :-/ I don't have a power meter so power would be estimated using drlava's graph and current draw.

Anyway, it's not really a project yet.First I have to complete the prototype and see how well that turns out.But If everything goes well I might even go as low as 100-120 bucks.

I say you should go for it.
even if you spend 120-140 on components, if you manage to get around 70mW you can still sell them @ 160 or 200dls (200 or more on ebay )

It would come down to 51 dollars to make one.I don't know but I fear shipping is gonna be something like $20 for anything bigger than an envelope.So adding to that the $40 I need for profit it should be around $110 shipped. Of course I could make a much bigger profit on ebay.

oh. well then, you'll get more money,
if you just want to screw everybody else you can sell them at 120-130
