I was woundering how much people would pay for an N64 portable i know im not done yet but im gettin close and i could probly make anotherone in a week if i had all the materials. it would last about 3.5h and would be pretty slim and small.

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.

that would be like a 10 dollar profit with the 3-4h bATTS

im not done yet but i will be within two to three weeks the reason its taking so long is because i am waiting for shipping from batt space. i will then for a second one order all the parts in advance and have it done within a week

If you could fit it all in there then that would be sweat!! looks pretty small. I am still very much interested

the one thing that cost a lot are the batts with the charger the cost me 80 bucks but with the led mod it should last about 5-6h here is a pic of the batts they are rather small and actually i could probly get the case smaller.

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

the screen alone cost almost 50 bucks so how would i profit

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

There is something called Â«minimal costÂ» too you know ?
