I want to buy a n64p

[mikeyg]

I really want the darth 64 or L64 id be willin to go up to 200 to 315 dollars to buy one depending on quality. Can anyone help..

As I said, The Darth 64 was sold on ebay for $600 or so I believe. You're offering a third of that.
The L64 I believe Sonyportablizer has it, but I do not know...

Sonyportablizer has it. He was discussing $600 with someone a week or two ago.

That's what I thought. For $315 or so, you could get a decent portable. I think Shockslayer does them pretty cheap, don't know exact price, but it's cheap and very decent quality.
I would pm him.

That would be a problem right now, since I think he has been temp banned.

Oh, hadn't heard about that, maybe on modretro?

I'll do a standard unit for $550, one with extra features for $650

Past your price range, but for the price.

well i just need a portable that looks descent charges and is wireless and has all buttons that work. I think thats worth 300 dollars if u add up prices

but are you including labor...? Don't think so.
N64= What $30-ish dollars
Ps1 Screen= $50-70 dollars
Case= What do you want? vac formed, or something else?
Controller=$5-10
Any extras= $$$
Labor=$$$
It all adds up...

[Squidlekins]

The money adds to like 200 and i added 100 for wireless and time

how many posts like this are there going to be? Seriously...

The cost of the parts usually makes up (depending on the seller) 20-60% of the final cost of the portable, sometimes more if they like giving away their work. you have to factor in the persons time to wire everything up, build/modify the case etc. even at minimum wage rates your looking at about 150-200$ MINIMUM for misc parts cost and labor. this hobby is weird because the profit margins for hand build portables are usually terrible. in many other custom fabrication type jobs/hobbys the average wage for a skilled craftsman is 25-60 dollars per hour, not minimum wage. IIRC the last time marshall took a commission for a portable n64 it was 1500$

Does everyone forget the batteries?

I spend anywhere from $100-$145 forLithium-Poly batteries, the pcb, and the charger from http://www.batteryspace.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for every major power hungry portable I build.

Theres no way to get them cheaper unless you use inferior batteries or heavy less effective batteries.

So the price is usually as follows: (averages)

Psone screen : $60
Batteries Lithium-Poly - $120
System : $35
Third party controller: $15
Tact switches / buttons /caps/ etc : $20
Case (either premade or frankenmod) - $20
Wires / solder/ resistors / regulators/ etc - $25
Sandpaper / Paint / plastic filler/ bondo - $40
Time : Priceless

Total : $315

Granted that is worse case scenario , ie : you have nothing laying around to use. But it still is the value of what it costs.

So you can take your" $300 is all it's worth" and go buy a PSP.

You just got razered!!

[hackmodford]

I always figure about $350 for the parts and then charge around that for labor.

So in theory yes. I'll accept $300ish if you supply parts. But I'm kinda busy right now...

[argelfraster]

With your 500 other commissions?

[kylechu]

LOL
See, now you've gone from a noob to a lying noob.
