It is a rule that you're only supposed to have one for sale thread at a time, however. Not three.

You can be stocking shelves making 20 times the amount of money you'd make from gameboys. I'm currently down around 1k from the amount of money I've invested into my mod service.

I recently did a mod that took me around a month to finish, but I sold it for $130. Realistically, it should have been around $400.00 for how much work I put into it, but you can't ask someone to pay that kind of price for a gameboy.

It's pretty pretentious to question someone's pricing. I hate when people do it to me, so I didn't want to say anything.  Just, you really need to use the proper tools to be selling for that price. Otherwise you're going to have very angry customers leaving you negative feedback and demanding a refund.

I have spent hours upon hours upon hours working on this gameboy (do you know how hard and how long it takes to make a hole in a gb with a little tiny carving knife???), so don't fucking call me lazy. And like I have already said YOU CAN TRADE.

I based my price off of all the cost for parts, the long hours I've spent working on it, and by what I've seen similar items sell for on ebay and other websites. If you don't like the price YOU CAN TRADE. I'm not looking to make any enemies here but it pisses me off that someone would just purposely try to sabotage me.

P.S. These forums aren't for making money.

-ProSound Original Headphone Jack
-ProSound RCA Outputs
-Internal PS/2 Keyboard Jack
-Replaced original red power LED with orange LED

I am also in the process of adding the following mods:

-Variable Clock Speed Knob (Pitch Control)
-Front Light for Screen
-Custom Paint Job (at buyer/traders request)

I am looking to get a good trade (I am looking to trade for ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING used to make chiptune music) but I will be willing to sell it for $185 (yes, I KNOW THIS IS A RIDICULOUS PRICE YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMIND ME, I AM LOOKING TO TRADE, IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO TRADE YOU CAN EITHER PAY MY RIDICULOUS PRICE OR NOT GET THE GB). I live in the U.S. and prefer U.S. offers but will consider foreign offers. I can be reached here on chipmusic.org or at hunter_cure@hotmail.com

Here's a test video for the internal ps/2 keyboard jack, you can also see the RCA outputs, orange LED, and hole in front where the knob for the variable clock speed will go,

AND KEEP IN MIND THAT THE VIDEO IS NOT OF THE FINISHED GAMEBOY.
