I dunno, a company called Heathkit tried that and went belly up.

Heathkit didn't go belly up because kits were not profitable;
Heathkit went out of business because their new owner had no
interest in a kit company, but rather wanted the assets of the
Zenith computer company.

Heath continues to this day making security devices, lamp fixtures,
and a number of other mundane products.
