  What about gray areas like imported electronic parts that are then
hand assembled or even just custom packaged?  An end user is typically
more interested in what the product looks and feels like than what's
inside.  Nobody would know but the repairman, and who do you think
would be fixing a one-of-a-kind design anyway?

  Another approach would be to think of all the prototype custom wire
wrapped circuit assemblies of today.  That could be elevated to an art
form if you can get around the problem of mass produced components.
