MOTM

This is a question about selling modules that aren't 100% MOTM
standard. If I use pots supplied by Bridechamber instead of the BTI
pots supplied by Paul, will I have a harder time selling the modules?

The market for MOTM modules is too small to generate a meaningful
answer to this question.

Build your modules as best you can.  Replacing a pot or four is not
too hard to do down the road.  Replacing 100 pots in a large modular
is.  Whether or not to spend an extra $60 in parts in exchange for a
*brick and rebar* shithouse is a judgement call everyone will make
differently.

IMO modulars should be designed for a 100 year duty cycle.  I also buy
used modules assembled by amateurs (like myself) that have unsealed
pots.  Such is war.

If you're building MOTM modules, buyers would expect the MOTM standard pots, though I don't doubt that popular modules would sell with Alphas.  You would probably have to discount them and be very specific when selling them.

If you're building MOTM *format* modules like those at Bridechamber, then the buyer would likely expect that Alphas were used.
