POST EDIT!! -=NEW SIMPLE PRICING=-
ok.
back now doing this sorta stuff again.
and now with mod chips back in stock.
not that much to tell really. just took a lot longer to get up and running again than was expected. (had worke done on a house, moved house, work done to this house, still need to re render the outside but im good to go now.)
--- note for all to read ---
Hi.
decided to spread the joys of the classic xbox.
i sold lots of these things now and some people have decided to come and re order so i dont think il be listing any more for sale as i will probably only be making them to order from now on..
--- end ---
"STOCK"
some aladin advance xt plus 2 "£10each or £13 installed"
"remeber to add postage"
3x 160gb hard disks (fully checked passed all tests 100%) "£16 for the drive."
"send me your eeprom.bin and il prep and softmod a hard disk or your xbox without you having to send it.. or if your hard modded il prep the disk ready for you) "remember to add postage"
40 or so stock 8/10gb hard disks (i will fully test them as needed. but all seem fine) "£2 per drive. + £5 install fee"
(hard disk upgrades.. obviously you can supply your own hard disk if you have one.)
"a hard disk prepped and installed is £5 if you supply the drive. this includes a softmod to a unmodded box + disk upgrade option"
on the way.
10x 160gb drives
-- the service offered --
I have decided that the best way to spread the joys of the king of consoles. is to offer moding services.. (see the list of what i will do)
Obviosuly i will also price up consoles made to order, this should work out cheaper than me making them 1st then selling them after as i wont have to charge as much due to having money tied up in 6-7 consoles and needing to actualy eat and feed the baby.
-what i wont do--
i wont be doing ram upgrades "time consuming and fiddely,"
I wont do cpu upgrades
and with my overclocking experiments boards die fast so i wont be doing that either..
--What i will do--
I will tsop flash. (£8 with no chip installed. or (£17 dual boot with aladin)
"the £8 fee will pay for the work i did, so no additional gift payment is needed unless you feel you want to or more work was done.
the £8 fee is like an insurance policy so if the tsop gets corrupted i will install a chip so the xbox works. I have only ever had 1 tsop corupt, but it can happen so thats the cost"
hard disk upgrades (decided that people were being crasy with gift payments so i am setting a fixed price of £5 for a drive install. "if you supply the drive" if you buy the drive from me its free)
softmods. (same as a drive install people went crasy with gifts so its now set at £5)
I will happily repair boxes with dead hard drives. (again with the crazy gifts. this is considerd a hard disk upgrade so same pricing)
i will unlock stock hard drives that you have from a dead xbox. (this service is probably only really worth while if you have a lot of drives. most will have to be 100% wiped to unlock. )
i will look at faulty dvd players. although if its dead its dead.. (gift what you feel it was worth)
Il remove the clock cap for you. and clean up any issues that may have already happend. if the xbox wont boot without a clock cap. (have seen it happen) then i will move the cap above a controller port via kaynar wire and encase it in epoxy. this will prevent damage to the board if the cap leaks. check for dangerous foxlink psu's and rectify the error,
Sticky tray dvd's will be fixed when i find them.
(standard work done to all consoles. feel free to gift some money for this service, but it is not expected.)
Il repair traces that lead to xboxes automatically turning on and the dvd ejecting by its self excetera. "£2"
if you have an xbox with a dead hard disk and just want a standard xbox hard disk its £2 for a stock hard disk + £5 for the install "£7 total".
or i can put a larger hard disk in there. " a 160gb installed would be £16"
or if you send a hard disk to install in it "£5"
i will also add usb port(s) to an xbox if requested (£2 per port max 2 ports per consol. port 1 and 4 used as default can request any port. the game ports will still work)
I will attempt to repair broken controllers (i cant fix all controllers) but will offer to convert some broken controllers to usb if you wanted a usb port added.
(feel free to gift whatever you belive the work was worth)
if you need a 1.6 xbox chipped i have aladin chips.
(i will also offer softmods for 1.6's)
softmoded boxes are treated like a disk upgrade so £5 for a basic softmod install thats the same price if you want to softmod the stock hard disk, or upgrade at the same time (i would definatly rather upgrade than softmod the stock)
i will happily add software to the hard disks for free because thats how much i pay for the software my self. (free. this just takes time to add the software please dont send me any money for software. the software is FREE)
----more to read + PRICING PLAN---
if you send me an xbox to be softmodded/hard disk repaired/upgraded and at the same time i notice the xbox can be flashed then i will ask you if you want it Tsop flashed,
The pricing in general is prety simple though.
you have to cover the postage both ways and then the costs stated.
if you have a dead xbox with bad hard disk, and you want to softmod it and have a hard disk upgrade All you pay is for the hard disk upgrade. It is all the same job in reality..
It is not:
broken hdd replace : £5 (drive you supply)
Softmod install : £5
total = £10..
It is..
Brokend hdd replace with softmod "£5" (drive you supply
)
if you only wanted a mod chip installed, and nothing els. then you only need to pay postage and the stated installed price of the mod chip.
Any aditional work takes up time and effort, "cap removal, psu check and so on"
but i dont really mind. so you dont have to gift me any thing. but if you do decide to gfit something for my time please dont go crazy about it.
(honestly i have had to re work this whole thing with actuall prices now because people keep gifting me stupid amount of money.. it was only ever ment to be a drink or 2, not a bottle of finest 20 year old single malt..)
So please dont make me try and figure out a price for these basic checks i do.. really they are only worth a drink or 2 at the most. and i dont mind doing them free. it means that the console will last longer and i wont have to repair it again.
I have updated this post because some people gifted quite a lot of money.
Granted it was 3 days work. but I thought i would add some prices.
I wont be adding a maximum gift payment accepted option incase people assume that its something that i expect to see. it really is a gift for my work if you dont want to pay a gift then its not expected.. its just allowed.
