Hello Everyone, I am looking for a wood and glass basketball case. Does anyone have a source besides Big Sky for this, I am just pricing them right now. I have already called Big Sky and got a price from them, but am still looking around. It takes a week for them to make it, and I am not sure when this guy wants it. It is for a job from the Crown Plaza, and they want their logo etched on it along with a Welcome Globe Trotters on it. I would also like advice on pricing something like this. Thank you, Barbara Barbara Sample RGile Engravers

Barbara,

Considering the quality of work from Big Sky Woodcrafters and the caliber of your potential client, I wouldn't be doing much shopping.

Just my opinion, but I wouldn't make the Crowne Plaza a test case for the "You get what you pay for" axiom.

A high school basketball team? Yes, I'd be shopping.

Thank you David, I also think that way, and I love Big Sky, I guess I was hoping for someone who did not have to make them and wait for it, but I will probably be using them. They only take a week to do it, and they can have it a week from when I call them, so that will be ok. If it isn't, then I will just have to tell them they waited too long. I had a sudden death in my family, and I am in Arizona right now, so didn't get to speak to the guy myself. I will be talking to him next week. I am flying back home on Sunday night and will be able to call him and talk more about it when I get back to the store. Thanks again, Barbara Barbara Sample RGile Engravers
