I might be interested. Though I think anyone that would do it would
have to charge close to what Paul does for assembled kits. I live
fairly close to Paul so I might could work something out to avoid
double shipping charges.

As far as quality, I could probably do snap shots of some modules
I've assembled or even let Paul take a look to see if I pass the
"MOTM-quality-approval" rating. I'm very picky about assembly, I even
make sure all resistors are oriented to read left to right to make
debugging problems easier. I've assembled four rack rows worth of
modules, all worked properly on the first power-up. 

Of course I would only want to do it with Paul's approval. And of 
course every penny I made would just be used to buy more modules :-)
