I wouldn't say so. To be honest, even I believe my products are quite expensive.

This is still just a hobby for me, built purely out of interest. The sales aren't even for big money. You gotta be crazy to think you can make a living off it, I just use it to feed this insanely all-consuming addiction... lol

The price is also a bit out of my control... the base cost is high, as these parts are produced in small runs. I simply don't have the capital to build this stuff in thousand piece runs. If anybody wants to invest, there may be opportunities...

Individual one-off customs carry the highest price premium and production wait time, but the dedicated enthusiast will totally agree with me when I say that having your own unique custom built piece designed to your own specifications is definitely worth the price premium and wait time.

These aren't low grade die-cast loose toleranced parts from sub-par materials, either.

ILLusion Kinetics offers innovative custom parts, either in large production or as a true one-off custom build.
All ILLusion Kinetics parts are precision CNC machined from high grade materials, such as 6061/7075 aluminum & 303/304 stainless steel.

Like I've always said, "you get what you pay for." I've been messing with the Marui Hi-Capa since it hit the market, and I've had enough parts to go through my hands to know what's junk, what's good, what's premium, and what's ultra-premium. I never recommend junk to customers, and for the discerning enthusiast, I can recommend the cream of the crop to whet their appetite.
