bonusplays Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 (edited) Hey I built a Core32 and had some trouble, bought another one, built it and then successfully troubleshooted the original. It works fine now but I don't need it in my SEQ any longer. My question is what's a fair value to sell it in the parts section? Parts and PCB were about $55 I think. Is there a fair value for assembling it, say $10 USD, or should I just list it for parts value? Thanks, -Scott Edited May 23, 2011 by bonusplays Quote
sidmonster Posted May 24, 2011 Report Posted May 24, 2011 Most people only charge for parts, the value of labor cannot be defined, I only make $10.00 per hour at my day job, but you may make $35.00 an hour, does that mean a core that took me two hours to build is worth $20.00 + parts, while your core is worth $70.00 + Parts? See the problem here? Quote

See the problem here? Ok, if parts cost-only charging is standard practice, I'll do that. Just seems a bit strange to value an unassembled parts kit and a functioning project at the same value when they're qualitatively different. Again, not that I have a problem with that, it's a community based forum, but its just a little unusual to me. Quote

There reason for that is so no one starts a "i'll build a midibox for you for $$$" business. Quote

Makes sense, though if I charged myself for labor for building my SEQ it would have cost another $4,000 or something outrageous. I'll test the board one last time today and throw it up in the fleamarket today or tomorrow. Thanks for your help, guys. -Scott Quote
