: : Just curious. What would people here be willing to pay for a control panel with:
: : -Programmable encoder used for interface
: : -2 happ's super joysticks
: : -6 buttons each player plus 1-up and 2-up
: : -Trackball
: : -2 spinners
: : -buttons for spinners and TB if needed
: : ????
: Generally, I just figure what the parts would cost me and add a little for labor.
: Opti-Pac and I-Pac 80.00
: 2 Super joysticks 20.00
: Buttons 22.50
: Trackball 80.00 (or 60.00 but there should be some profit)
: Spinners 100.00 (less if you build yourself, more if you purchase.)
: Wood, connectors 25.00
: Total 327.50 plus time and labor = $350.00
Dude that is less than $25 for labor......who the hell has time to build a joystick like that for less than $25.......do you know how many hours are involved in a project like that. I dont know what you make at your job but even for side work to make a little extra cash I am not going to work for less than $20/hour........if someone would build a controller like that for less than about 300-500 labor than they either have no life or are about the most generous person on earth!!!
