Even 400$ don't cover all my spends, besides, that nobody want to buy with this price.
I want just a little clarification...
You've got 3 x "PCB + parts" kits, 3 x "Fully assembled board" in total and 5 new tested 8580R5.
There was some mishap, you was in a hurry, you didn't ask me a thing about some confusion and two SIDs had been killed. Sh*t happens.
Price for all kits, boards and SIDs was, actually, lower for because we are in one country and deal was in rubles, not in $. But let's assume price was the same.
So what?
$45 + $45 + $7 (shipping) = $97 for fully assembled (by me) cards at maximum. No labor of your own. What is that "all my spends" thing?
$35 (for kits) + $0 (for fried SIDs). Probably you've found another source of SIDs and bought them for (140/1.13)-$35=$97.7?.. Why? You could buy for $45 (less, actually) tested 8580R5 from me. If not, you've set the price for your soldering for $124-$35=$89? Woohoo, that's a price!
And you didn't include shipping of the board in that price either, asking minimum $17 more for it (while actual price to send the board abroad to any country is ~$7 including packaging and tracking).
I don't see any reason to include your mishaps and screw ups in that price. If I buy something for $80, then screw it up, then repair it for $50 I would not sell it for $130. Because it is my problem and not a buyer's problem that I've screwed up. I'd sell that for the same price of $80 or even less if there are traces of repair.
Not blaming or judging you, but I clearly don't see any reason for that kind of price. Just don't get it. Can you explain it? Maybe in PM?
