ras pis in DMG shells have been happening, pretty sure i saw one of those on hack-a-day.  it wasn't a vendor's shop though

maybe it wasn't h.a.d., but its certainly been happening

A Raspberry Pi with a pre-installed OS packed with emulators in a classic console case would probably sell, to be honest.

Im just waiting for people to start selling raspberry pis in classic console enclosures. And then classic game consoles in other classic game consoles.

It's a bit of fun, stop being whiny babies.

I wouldn't get one myself, but that's because it's £70 for a 500gb drive

thats really lame lol. also arent those branches things ripped from 8bc?

But them custom printed screens Kitsch!  They 1-up'd you with "borrowed" game art.    The only positive thing I saw was that they have made 1 sale.  Hopefully they just end up sitting on 20 of your cases and buttons they are currently attempting to sell.

matching colors of plastic together, does not handmade make

imo

^ i've considered an etsy, but since i can't legit claim they are 'handmade' (like the seller is, currently) i know that etsy would simply close the shop

thats pretty weird to see...

since you guys understand how bad it is to do with music, understand that for a 'hardware guy' seeing someone claim your work as their handmade product is a bit perturbing

not sure if thats a real word.

Kitsch doesn't need an etsy .:lol:

I have seen both of these in the past, and I feel both are pretty lazy attempts at making a buck off of people.  I think the first is sorta dumb, myself, but I can't say exactly why, as I have considered doing such things in the past.  The one selling kitsch-bent stuff...I dunno, they aren't exactly just reselling, but...  both put a little effort into their stuff.  plus I have seen worse on etsy.

One way to look at it, though, is the person selling kitsch kases is giving new skin to the game boys that were stripped to house HDDs.

thats not me

"New designs coming weekly, its a slow process of designing, producing, photographing and listing each new design.

More parts to follow as well, battery covers, faceplates and buttons.

We accept trade-ins for cash or trade. We also do repair and sell parts. Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions. "

Insane mark up of Kitsch goods and the only thing they are doing is putting custom art on the screen covers..... -___-

With Kitsch being based out of North Carolina and the etsy seller New York I would have to go with someone reselling kitsch products.

...another etsy shop - is this kitsch? or just someone selling kitsch's stuff?

Cannibalizing otherwise good working hardware to make them into HDD cases... when they're already HDD cases out there, a waste in my opinion. Pricing is a little ridiculous as well.
