Default gauging empty box interest

I have built my own pop'n controller out of maple, the box turned out well except we cut the top too short and had to fill in the cracks, but that was ok because I was going to paint it. Well I am helping a couple friends build another controller and if there is interest in someone buying my maple box (can post pics) and I use that money to buy some exotic hardwood to replace mine. Second since we will be building 1-3 boxes, we might be able to make a couple more out of maple. Is anyone interested in buying the empty boxes who doesnt have shop tools at home ? What would people be willing to pay for the empty shells (you would have to buy your own buttons and do the wiring). If there is no interest I will just paint my own box and help my buddies with thiers

edit: adding 2 pictures

How much would you sell it for? I may jump on this, since it's not too difficult to order the buttons and get a hold of a soldering gun... just need to top it all off with a PSX non-analog controller.

Very nice; I like the woodwork. Just for reference, though, you can get away with about 2-3/4" (total) height for the side and not worry about button/switch clearance, unless you're putting solid maple on the bottom too. I also see the dovetail joints - those are classy, but for a Pop'n controller, rabbet joints will do you just fine, and will save you the hassle of evening out the edge. (And rabbets will work for joining the top too, if you didn't make it that way to start with.)

Valius - I was thinking 60 for the box and I can send it right now.

Random - thanks for the tips, the dovetails were flagrant On the height I was just guessing because I couldn't get anyone to answer me as far as a good height, but as luck turned out, it is the perfect height for use with my adjustable keyboard stand ! It does add a bit of girth to her, but not too much really. the next couple I build will prolly be pretty close to that because we will all be using the same music stand
