WTB: Custom Made N64p SNESp

GoldenfrankO · Post by **GoldenfrankO** » Tue Apr 29, 2008 8:26 pm

I would really like someone to make Me a Custom SNES Portable. I just bought a SNES Mini and Would like it to be turned into a SNES portable. I'd like it made Like Life Of Brian's SNESp. I'd Like it to have a rechargable battery with at least 3 hours of play. I can provide the SNES Mini but I'm not nearly good enough to pull this off myself. I'm willing to pay around $100-$150 total for the whole thing (Not including what I've spent on the SNES mini) I'll give specific details on how I'd like it to look after I found someone to do it.

I'd also really like a portable N64 more then a SNES.

I don't think you'll find anybody to do it for $150... Seriously, if memory serves, it costs more than that to build it.

I's say $275-$300. But don't call me on that because I'm not 100% sure.

the price you have offered would barely cover the cost of parts let alone the labor involved. figure 100$ for parts (not including your snes) going by my regular pricing on stuff if you shipped me the snes i would build you one for ~200-250 dependant on how much work goes into it and other options

just as an FYI, my regular price for a snesP is 300$ 150 up front for parts cost (lcd retro duo batteries etc) and the rest on completion. it is negotiable tho

Thank you for confirming my memory. Its nice to know that a few of my brain cells survived eighteen years of life.

would you do it for $200?

200+ the mini would be as low as i could reasonably go and that would kick the crap out of any sort of profit margin i would have (eg barely worth my time) unless i make it as simple as possible (no relocated cartslot, no li-ions or built in charger, simple case, possibly a polycase or similar etc)

When Triton Finishes the one I've commissioned, I will let you know what it's like. I'm sure it will be awesome!

Everybody wants something for nothing these days.

Wow I charge $600 minimum for a SNESp and they sell out in 2 days...Only $200 for parts, screen, and labor? Hell my portables use $300 total in parts to begin with. I know this is a hobby but christ.

I bet yours are good too but I want one for the cheapest I can get it. I'll request this closed after the SNESp is made and I pay complete for it.

i fail to see how this is possible unless your using AEI lcds and expensive li-ion batteries, it would be in your best intrest to reduce cost overhead for maximum profit, my total parts cost for retro duo, 2.5" lcd, batteries and case material (including bondo etc) is under 150$

Cost break down of my SNESp V2 (not built yet). Parts only without shipping calculated. Supplies for the case including wood, glue, sandpaper, coating. Part numbers are listed. I order from digikey and Mouser because the both carry separate parts that the other does not carry which is very annoying. Cool thing is the Mousers shipping is really low so its only like a $6 hit.

"Other" is extra costs that may or may not happen like having to pay for gas when I have to run to the electronics store and pick up a part that was either DOA or failed. Tool wear and tear is also included here.
