How much for a fully assembled and tested one?  I was just looking at it earlier today and thinking I would like one plus Yaqube's ARM controller board.

So, are you interested in soldering up a few of those boards for a reasonable fee?

A fully working board will be €270 + any PayPal fees (if used) + shipping. They are put together by hand, so I can't give any delivery time, specially now during summer time (during July, I will be mostly out from home).

I know others may have asked this in the past but how many people are willing to pay for an assembled minimig and for what price?

Is there any kind of mini-itx backplane cut out plate for these? They fit in a standard min-itx case correct?

Hi Illuwatar,

I would like a fully assembled one. I am not in a rush, so if you are willing to assemble one for me, take your time. Let me know.

I would love to get a Fully assembled one, but at 270 Euros ($438.17, CND) the price is way out of my reach, considering I can get 2-3 classic Amiga's and still have enough for beer left over. The exchange rate to CND is killer. Over double for GBP.
I have Amiga stuff for sale at http://amigalounge.com. You can follow my builds there also.

I did a quick eBay search and the Minimig is selling for $240 w/ $29.68 shipping. Is this a fair estimate for what people are willing to pay? Any ideas, polls, suggestions?

How much are you willing to spend?

I just finished my 4th Minimig, and waiting for Yaqube's ARM board controller to be completed.  I think the pricing of $240US with a $29US shipping and handling charge is fair.  I think my cost of each of my Migs ran me on average $167US (board , components, pwr supply) + $36US (Case - From Wizard66), so I had a total of $203US.  Assuming the eBay seller is including a case and power supply it should be comparable.  Soldering time and chip programming was around 6 hours per board.  So, that would workout to be close to $12 per hour for my labor based on me selling for $270US.  

Not sure what the current availability is on the Minimig from Amigakit, Vesalia, or any other vendor of the Acube retail board.  If they are out and no current/future production planned then these Minimigs on eBay could fetch a good bit.

€270 may look much compared to these US prices, but You have to count for that my costs are much higher too (buy in € + the high taxes in Sweden). And as the board is larger and contains more parts compared with the original one, there are more than 6 hours per board. But I prefer to sell just bare PCBs as these hours could be spent on other, more fun ways. A €20 is rather cheap for a pro-made dual layer board in Mini-itx size.

And to everyone that wants a PCB now (before my vacation), please send me PM's so I could wrap it up and send them all during the weekend to come. I don't have that much time now so I can run with each individual package over several days. An estimated cost for shipping (actual will be calculated when I have the packing material) is €5 for Europe and €7 for the rest or the World.
