I think he's earning his money. He has to buy the rgb board, chassis, db23 connector, switches and whatever else he puts inside the box and I'm sure it takes him a couple of hours to put one together and test it. Not to mention the time he spent figuring out how to do it and make it work. If you buy the raw board, you have to figure out how to make it work with an Amiga in a stable configuration. Then, if one gets damaged in shipping, he has to take it back and either fix or replace it and probably has to swallow the shipping charge.
I've thought about trying one of these Arcade converters but I've got too many projects going on right now. I know I'd spend some time putting it into a chassis if I got one.
Agree!
Plus powersupply and cables. Plus time. All YOU have to do is plug it in. Why would people think that price is expensive? That's why each batch he makes sells out in no time.
Previous posts sound like a case of; "I want it all and I want it for zip!" If you want it cheaper get the card and do it yourself. For the same raw materials I bet you find yourself up around the $80us mark add the time you take to build it and,,, yep $150us.
It obviously is worth $160 because it sells for that like hot cakes..
