Testing Waters: Almost complete SNESp

khaag · Post by **khaag** » Sat May 10, 2008 3:27 pm

So you might have seen the SNESp that I've been working on. If not, you can see it here: http://kevinhaag.ca/2008/04/06/snesp-su ... -part-6-2/

I was just wondering, how much any of you would be willing to pay for it. It is nearly complete, has the screen, controls, speakers, etc. installed already. Everything is all wired up (FC Twin, relocated cart-slot, 5400 mAH lipoly battery, protection circuit, 2nd player port) it just needs to be put in the case and put together. It's using a polycase zn-40 case and its a really nice case, if I do say so myself.

The reason I ask is because, as some of you know, I am working on it as a commission for Hedge. However, he may not want it anymore, so I'm seeing what I can get for it so I can give him his money back. I don't want any questions/remarks as to my and Hedge's agreement, so please don't ask about it. All you need to know is that there has been misunderstanding on both our parts.

So let me know what you guys think its worth. I'll throw up some more recent photos if any one wants me to.

Yeah, well you're cheap.

I'd pay $250-$300, though I'm not buying it when it is finished.

I'm looking for more than that... This thing has cost me more than $200 in parts alone, not to mention the amount of labour that's gone into it... I'm thinking around $300-$350?

Here's some pics:

Looks great. I guess I can't buy it though.

I'd probably pay ~$300. Not really interested though.

That's more like it. Is there anyone who WOULD be interested?

Why not just finish it yourself and then sell it? I personally wouldn't like to finish someone else's work because I might not think the same as them and would completely tear it apart and do it my way.

Agreed. "Don't ever buy a 'partially restored' car."
