Anyone ever try to sell guitar necks that they've made?

I've purchased some fantastic maple/rosewood material to construct a Bass VI replica 30" scale neck with the intent to sell it (perhaps on TDPRI or Ebay?). I've spent about $70 - $80 on all the parts, milling, and materials and hope to sell it for around $200 - $250 (finished in Tru-oil) depending on demand.

I was just curious to see if you think that this is a reasonable expectation. This is more of an experiment than anything else; I cannot see myself doing this as a side job or anything.

Anyone ever sell their own guitar necks (custom or replica) and had success?

Do you think anyone would be interested in a Bass VI neck? And they're not widely available outside of USACG overpriced model or Warmoth's strange version.

I've sold a few. Your prices seem reasonable for a quality neck.

It is sad to say but follow a few builder /sellers on ebay and you'll see that unknown maker necks usually don't sell for more than $100+ depending on the materials incorporated. I joke that there's a guy in every small village selling instrument parts, but it is probably more like two if the truth is known...:-).

IF you have a unique neck that isn't widely produced, you may may establish a niche market, but then the demand isn't there either. Sometimes that isn't bad. The problem is as soon as you get something unique, you get a ton of people doing the same thing and that dilutes the cost you can command. Steady work at a lower profit margin is probably better than no sales and lots of inventory to dust off.

Selling on eBay is a losing proposition unless you're a big shop.
I only build to order.

I disagree. Ebay offers more exposure than you are going to get locally as an unknown. You just have to have realistic expectations about your selling price and examine your competition. It generates inquiries as well when people see your past work and feedback. The drawback is that some people don't value their time at all and are willing to sell their work for ridiculously low prices and you have to compete with that. Making and selling a body for 30 dollars is just plain stupid in my opinion.
