I'll bump this up once..maybe someone will give me another idea :p
I could just get a GF2 MX200 for about 25 bucks...she doesn't do gaming, so it probably wouldn't matter much.

My builds are often for friends with little money. So I will often charge them a la carte depending on what they can afford. If I buy at the stor I charge what I payed at the store before rebate. For example one I'm doing now she wants a CD-RW. Office Max had one regular $69.99 on sale for $39.99 plus $10.00 mail in rebate making it $9.99. I will charge her $40.00. and collect my profit later when the rebate check comes in. If I'm buying online I'll just round up to the nearest $10.00 mark so if her Motherboard costs me $43.00 I will Charge her $50.00.Quote:

I'm now thinking of building/selling systems once in a while - what's the best way to figure out what I should charge? Cost of parts + $50, or..?
So far using this method I have been able to keep the price of a new system under $300 to build and under $400.00 to sell. The one I'm building now I quoted her $350.00 for a 2.0Ghz with 256 RAM.
Did you realize you just bumped a 2 YEAR old thread???

Well at least now it makes sense why he was talking about buying an XP 1600 instead of like Duron 1.8 Ghz or something
Me too, lol.Quote:
