Maybe you should get an approximate price out, so no crap youtube buyers will go "HEY 5 BUX AND ILL GIVE U A NU N64 TOO 4 PRICE! I MENE U KEN USE A PSP AND PLAY IT TOO!!!!!11!@!@ONE!"
I get them every day. "I HAVE A PSP SCREEN WILL THAT DO?"
...
"NO? OK WHAT IF I SENT MY GAMECUBE AND $20"
...
"GAMECUBE IS ONLY WORTH $30, WHY SHOULD I PAY $300 FOR A PORTABLE ONE?"
I don't charge $300 by the way, I charge parts + fixed labour + shipping and an estimate cost on parts is $300, but they never seem to add the labour cost to the parts cost, or even the shipping cost for that matter.
I make it a rule of thumb that I only build something that someone else has paid for. That way, if they back out of the project because they have no money, don't want to carry on, etc, I haven't lost any money on it. In fact, the thought of them paying postage to have a half finished portable sent back to them because they decided to quit half way through is often enough reason for them to forget it all together and I end up keeping whatever it is they've already paid for. After all, It's not like I can get a refund for the stuff now, so like Heck would I give them their money back on stuff I've already spent the money on when they decided to cancel.
God, Youtubers are so annoying.
