My company, originaldesign.pl, sells tables built for mossariums (along with mossarium supply kits and a how to guide). I'm wondering how popular it is among mossarium builders and what they'd expect to pay. At the moment, this particular table design costs ~$550 to make (before shipping costs, with the mossarium kit and how-to guide). I could sell it at a great margin, but my focus is on the community rather than profit. I am an amateur mossarium builder myself. Please let me know what you guys think is a fair price point. The more modern design one costs $1450 to make, but I will ask about that later as I think that's out of the budget for many people.

I wanted to build one of those. I made an experiment, and all the moss died because of lack of light – my living room is on the darker side.
Also, I had no problem with watering in my experimental setup (sealed tight, thin water ‘reservoir’ at the bottom), but this one here would be annoying to spray often, and I assume there is no way for water to accumulate at the bottom.
In theory these are great. I would like to build one just like yours. But I’d make the inner wood water resistant, put some kind of mesh for water to trickle trough at the bottom, and put some kind of lighting… which would make these cost much more than you are charging, I presume (not from US).
But the dream is still alive. I bought some lights yesterday, so I’ll make another experiment and see..
Looks great, but I don’t appreciate being advertised to.
You posted some of the same questions 3 weeks ago, and you said there how you didn’t know anything about moss and if someone wanted to be your partner.
You got really good advice (and warnings) there and you deleted your posts because people told you you seem to have A LOT of companies with things you do not know the first thing about.
Did you learn enough about this business in 3 weeks to justify selling these kits to unsuspecting victims or are you just winging this company (again)?
A fair price point is whatever someone at some garage sale will be willing to pay for a table that’s nothing more than a business experiment.
