Eric7100 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Awesome! I'm first in line for these great looking five dollar boxes you're going to make, and I'm sure many others would be right behind me. When will you be releasing them? Which games are you going to do? Are you going to do cool vapourware titles or are you going to do some updates or Super Pro versions? Either way, I can't wait to buy all of these budget friendly boxes YOU are going to make and sell for $5. Do you not understand the difference between "I am" and "I would"? I said that "I would" charge $5 per box, meaning that's what I would charge IF I was selling boxes. I never said I was going to sell any.

I said that "I would" charge $5 per box, meaning that's what I would charge IF I was selling boxes. I never said I was going to sell any. What I do understand is that you consistently criticize projects that some of the fine folks here on AA put a lot of time, effort and money into getting off the ground. Marc does a great job on boxes for not just Inty, but the 2600, 7800 and CV amongst other consoles and I'm certain he's not getting rich doing it. If you think good quality boxes can be made and sold for $5 each shipped then I really think you should do so. If not then I don't see the value in you criticizing these products that no one is forcing you to buy because they don't meet the price or time frame that you desire. Many of us are happy to support the efforts of these folks and are thrilled that they are taking time out from their busy RL to create cool new things for our favourite console. YMMV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't "criticizing" the product. It was the cost. 2. I would even call it "criticizing." I call it voicing my opinion. Is that not what a public forum is for?

freewheel Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 $5 for a box? Where's that emoticon of a face almost passing out due to lack of oxygen, from laughing so uncontrollably hard? You're joking, right? $5? Where the hell can you get small print runs of custom boxes done for anywhere close to $5 a piece? Please, I'd like to know, as that's between 1/2 and 1/3 of what these things actually cost to produce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that not what a public forum is for? Well if you think that well made boxes can be produced and shipped for $5 each while still making a tiny margin (if at all) for the producer then I'd say yours is not a well informed opinion. That's either incredibly naive or unrealistic of you and it comes across not as helpful feedback but rather as you shitting on the work that Marc is doing. Just sayin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpmaul69 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 True. Sorry. We all know asbestos was banned since the 70's, where would you even get it! you may be surprised to know asbestos is still used in fireproofing foam spray. In commercial buildings it is used in places like electrical rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-crew Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Eric, did apologize, that's the first step... he did admit his wrong... So now its time for Eric to buy a set of boxes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intellivotion Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I look forward to having them in hand. Marc, thank you very much An appropriate punishment to Eric? To buy 3 sets, one more than usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 If you bought 1000 boxes, maybe you could hit the $5.00 cost mark. Selling 1000 boxes would be tough. There were two reasons Piggy Bank did not have a box. 1: Not enough time. 2: Added cost for a $30 PRGE release. No one is required to buy anything to share in the fun on this forum.

Marc Oberhäuser Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Just a short note that the parcels are on the way (we had Easter bank holidays from Friday to Monday).
