Just checked the conversion rates. If you get a backlit grey DMG with an 1/8" pro-sound from http://thursdaycustoms.bigcartel.com/pr … do-dmg-001 then the total is £54.6312

Not too far off from what you're hoping to pay.

Too lazy to learn? No, lack of time. I appreciate the economics of it but I'm not sure his perception of his own value of his time is what I would be willing to pay.

I get ya mate

The absolute maximum would be £50. For that, I would expect backlighting and prosound. Nothing more, nothing less.

Nonfinite's pricing seems more in line with what I'm willing to pay but I imagine that the additional shipping costs would push it closer to what DJ Transformer is charging.

Those prices are ridiculous. I wont be paying £70 for a modded Game Boy. I suspect the pricing is, at least in part, a means of reducing the amount of orders he was receiving. There were numerous reports about unfulfilled orders on 8bc a while back. I don't dislike the guy, nor do I want to discredit his ability. Not for me.



That doesn't seem like a lot to you?

It's not. USPS flat rate shipping boxes that gameboys barely fit into cost $17, and the other dollar or two are for packaging.

Okay, then let me clearer about my sentiment. It is a lot of money to pay for shipping if you are someone that is used to British postal service prices. Hence the reason that I would prefer to buy from someone in the United Kingdom.

Where's a good place to get a custom DMG these days? Preferably from a company in the UK.
