If you mass produce this, or just sell it to your friends, or whatever, how much will you charge?

That's cool!

How much will you sell it for?

Ten billion dollers i'm guessing right gamey?

Post by **Gamelver** » Mon Oct 10, 2005 1:45 pm

nah...only 5

...TRILLION!!!!

....actually, I still have yet to come up with a price...perhaps something in the $250-$350 range...the parts alone cost a good bit

...but if you send me the GC and screen I'll take off at least a hundred dollars

(GCs cost $60 and screens are usually around $40)

the screen is really the hardest part to get

....oh, and I found a great nimh battery pack to use, with a charger included

Post by **Gamelver** » Tue Oct 11, 2005 3:51 pm

well, I believe I've finally decided on a good price...I'll probably be selling these for around $350....the screen and GC alone cost roughly $115, then the batteries, extra controller, 7.5V regulator, plastic, etc. pile onto the cost

...not to mention I gotta get some money for the time spent working on these things

!!!

anyway, I think that's a reasonable price...hell, ben's PS2p price was in the mid $400s, I think...anyway, who would like to be the first one to buy one?

I'm starting to build the first, so if anyone wants it, just send me a PM. I'll be having a website up soon, made by a friend of a friend who's kind of a friend

, so there'll be lots of pictures and stuff up there

Good stuff, just wondering, how stable are these gamecube protables you gonna be selling? im just asking after reading about the number of times you said youd re-done stuff in other threads :p
If its gonna last a good while without needing attention, you can put me down for one

Post by **Gamelver** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 1:03 pm

well, my first one I had a lot of trouble with, because it was my first one, but now I think I've refined my GCp making skills

...hell, I built one from scratch in 2 weeks, so I'd say I'm getting good with them

...the only thing that might cause problems could be the disc drive....it was kind of finicky at times, but I figured out the problem and fixed it...also, I'd wire the controller with stranded wire rather than solid so it won't come off as easily

...also, of course, lots of hot glue will be used on the controller to make sure nothing breaks off. other than those two possible problems, I would guess that a "sellable" GCp would be really stable

If we buy one, can we send you some of the parts we have to cheapen the price? (Gamecube, screen etc....)

Post by **Gamelver** » Thu Oct 13, 2005 2:19 pm

yup

....I'll take off $100 dollars off the price for now, since I can get screens for $30 at ebgames

(and believe me, I WILL get a bunch

)

God damnit I knew I should have waited until ebgames had them in stock!

I'm still waiting for mine I got for $50
