Well, I'm interested... I've actually got the FB2 (was $20 around Christmas at Target stores), the cart slot, and a somewhat hacked up fb2 case already. I tried to solder the thing in-- twice-- and couldn't get it to work. So at some point, it's probably better to call in the experts... or at least someone who has successfully done this.

 

Not sure where my problem lies ultimately, but it's a slop job right now that could use some help as it's a dust collector as is.

 

Lemme know if you're serious werejag. Cuz I am.

Um, actually, you got it quite wrong. Stealing is when you take something that doesn't belong to you. Charging more an hour for work you did is typical economy. How much a person pays is up to them. If it's worth $80 for someone to buy a flashback 2 with the cart already hacked on, then it's worth $80. Can the person buy the stuff cheaper and do it himself? Sure, expect he can't, so he has to pay someone else for it.

 

There's also quality factor here. Maybe he charges more because he's more experinced, and well, better at building things then others. Maybe he uses quality componets. Then again, maybe he does shoddy work with cheap componets.

The thing is, he can still charge what he wants, if he gets a buyer at that price, then it's the price the market will bear. If others start selling them for $60, then either he'll have to change his price to $60, or hope he finds people that want to pay more for his work.

 

It's all apart of ecomny.

 

Oh, and if anyone is stealing, figuretivly it would be you since you are selling your services cheaper so you can get (steal) business away from others. After all, no business gets mad when then a smiliar business is selling the same products for more, only when they are under cutting them.

ill give you the point that its economics and its what ever he wants to charge but then fall apart because you fail to carry out full economics. anyone can undercut its economics

 

time factor of 30 mins at 20 dollars/ hour is more than reasonable. this is soldering and modding

 

quality of parts lets just say is middle of the road. aka not shit. 10 bucks for wire and cart connector

 

20 for the fb2

Correct, thats what you consider it's worth. He doesn't feel that way, so he charges more.

 

He's not wrong, and your not wrong. You don't like how much he charges, which is fine. Thats why there's usually someone else who will sell something cheaper.

 

 

All I'm saying is there's nothing wrong with how much he charges. If you don't like it the price, then you don't have to buy it at the price.

If all you want to pay is a certain amount, say $40, then ask, Can anyone sell me or make me a FB2 with a cartridge slot for $40?

 

but you shouldn't say someone is stealing because they offer an amount thats more then you feel something is worth.

Thats how the Barter system works. The seller starts out at a high price, the buyer counters with a low price, and somewhere between they settle on the price.

 

personally I hate the barter system, and am glad it's not used much here in teh USA.

 

 

Anyways, I don't normally go off on subjects about economy and crap, but I went a few days without some weed, and when that happens I turn back into my nitpicking self. What happens is normally I'm stoned all the time, and I just ignore that stuff because it doesn't really matter.

 

So the moral of the story is if I start nitpicking, send me some weed because I'm out. =)
