Well guys, eastrider_1 has agreed to sell me his next portable, the PSTwoP. He's getting all the parts and such himself, and building the case. It'll be $700 for a very quality portable, ($660 if I can get him a screen) but if any of you can do it cheaper (and you're qualified, of course) then I guess I'm open to switching clients, although I must say that I'm impressed with east's first PS2p and his experience with PS2!

Thanks,
CTFan

I can go to $500.

consider this it will take about $200 to make it...I really would pay over $400 (standard retail profit margin)

Now that is for the basics, PStwo, Screen, controller and battery, frakencase no special mods

How did I figure $200?

Pstwo with controller - $50, yes 50 because Gamestop only gives you $40 for a trade in just hang around and offer the first smo you see $50 in cash and see who takes it
or $100 if you buy it form Gamestop

Screen- $40 (Buy it now on eBay)
battery- about 30 for a decent SONY type from power101

Subtotal- expensive- $170
cheap- $110

$200 generous

$700?! Holy POOP! That's expensive!

Dkap is gonna be selling his XBXp for around that much.

Krepticor · Post by **Krepticor** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 4:44 am

yea XBOXp seems to be about a fair deal at $700

All those mods that had to be done for it to work the desired way...

Does that mean you'll do it for cheaper?!?

?

Plus, I've just been informed that Ben only charged $500 for his original PS2p! I may have to rethink that $700 price tag...

Since interest in N64 and PS2 portables comprise a large portion of my email, I thought it'd be a good idea to reveal what I'd charge to build them...

N64 Portable: $900

PS2 Portable: $1000

Ben's selling them for $1000... >.<

I'd probably do it for $400-$500. $250 or so if supplies are.... supplied.

I will do it for all your RPGs. Nothing else. Just the RPGs. (sue me, I'm desperate)

Want some pics of my hawt work?

I would do it for chrono trigger and 230$... because you know, minimum amount for ps2p is 300$ from me and that's for just the most simple and easy to make one I could think of...

Post by **Skyone** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 8:11 pm

Are you guys nuts? All of the supplies? And it's one of the toughest portables to make. $300 is like, a SNESp.

Klefmung · Post by **Klefmung** » Mon Jul 24, 2006 8:23 pm

Heck, I only want the RPGs and nothing else. <_<

Well, I'm holding on to Trigger, it's just got too many memories attached, and FAR too many secrets yet to uncover. And actually, I just got rid of FFII and Secret of Mana to a friend who gave me Disgaea (you have NO IDEA how pissed I was when I found out that game was worth $200 now. I sold it at a garage sale for $10!!!). So basically, all I have to trade is FFIII and an English copy of Terranigma+the PAR3 converter, the only one that'll run it. I love both games, but I may be willing to part w/them, I suppose. Terrangima alone is a $70 game, and the converter is $80-$100 when it pops up on Ebay, about once every 5 months. I do have a lot of the other SNES games on your list as well, though.

And yes, definitely show me your work! As of now, though, Sky wins; he's got the lowest price for the most quality. So unless your work blows me away Klef...

I will take mentioned above. Ff3 is something I was looking for, and terranigma sounds great... but I will ditch that and the converter in order to undercut sky. <_< What other SNES games do you have? I will edit or post with my work soon.

(one connection came off when my idiot brother threw it, but it worked before that connection came off, and will afterwards) I would post my totally wired psonep. But the mobo fried right before I encased it. and I threw it away. >_<
