I agree with you Stinky....in my first two grows I easily covered the cost of my equipment which was an original outlay of about two thousand plus cost of electric etc for two grows which probably came to about $3000 total.....ended up with about 1lb between the two grows which at $200 an ounce....$3200 if it was sold that way. Add to that the tons of "cookie makins'" and the time saved running around buying it, security issues etc and right there I'm ahead of the game. And like you said....the rest is the cream waiting to be skimmed!
