well aim to keep costs low and profit high with out losing quality, like if it costs 70 or so price it at 130 so you take a less than full cost for profit and it will be a reasonable price where labor is concerned.

$50. Otherwise I'd cut my losses and buy a normal console and a game.

no man sell a n64 that high if the quality was up is fine if you make him dip the price down as 50 he better sell thousands to make up the profit, also he would need free screens and an unlimited bank of n64s sme are so sensitve that taking them from the RF unit could kill them.

Sorry, but it's supply and demand. Maybe $60, but you have to consider what an unmodded N64 goes for, and the fact that you can get a Gamecube for abot $70. You'd need to find a hardcore N64 fan.

You do realize that it's near impossible to build a portable for less than that, right?
My SNESP alone should be costing more than $125
