Years ago I made laser cut bezels for games but stopped due to not having that size laser anymore. That's changed and I found my old files so are they still needed or is the market satisfied?
 
If these are the black plastic 19" or 25" monitor bezels, no one makes either anymore.

Both are expensive. 25" is really hard to find in wider sizes.

The last known sellers are:
http://www.arcadeadventures.com/25-monitor-bezel-nos/ (25" but only 24.75" wide, I need closer to 27" or 28")
http://www.twistedquarter.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=200_203&products_id=372 (19") (and they have EXPENSIVE shipping!)

Arcadeshop has plenty of 19 and 25 inch crt bezels.
 
I think laser cut card stock bezels would be pretty cool and needed, but there is a cost/benefit issue that might make it unprofitable... Meaning at a certain price, most will say "if it costs that much I will just use my exacto"

I cut all of my own if I have the old one to use as a template - but the curved edges stress me out when I cut because I'm usually using a $15 massive art quality mat... I hear Joeycuda does fine work - but I have never ordered because for $15 I can craft my own and pretty damn close to original... But that is all just my personal perspective...
 
Q*bert or Mad Planets bezels?

I'd imagine we're talking something cut from flat stock though.
