awesome! good luck selling these... i strongly suggest putting them up on Etsy.com a friend had a mintyboost up there and it sold for $25!

[Moses_410]

thanks. I'll check that out. also what would you recommend as a price?

[adafruit]

you can buy the parts yourself and just the PCB from adafruit.com and save a lot of money. you could probably sell 'em for $25 or so and make $10-$12 each depending on how many parts you buy. but you should def experiment. $25 or $30 works so you can start there

[Moses_410]

yeah, thanks, i'm buying the PCB from adafruit and the other parts from digikey and maxim ic (free samples!)

What about selling them on E-bay?

[adafruit]

i think etsy will probably give you a better experience. its designed for people who make their own stuff. although its really up to you. people on ebay might be expecting something with a warrenty and made in a factory, yknow?

[Moses_410]

Hey, thanks a lot for the tip, I've sold a bunch on Etsy.
I was wondering though, if you'd by any chance consider stickying this ? I think that people who might be looking to buy a premade one might find it hard to find this post mixed in among everything on the forum. If not, thats ok too, I was just wondering.

Thanks,
Mike

I tried contacting moses410 (at) gmail.com regarding pre-made kits, looks like he may not be doing this any longer.

[Moses_410]

I'm still selling them, no worries, sorry, I just switched email clients a week or two ago and forgot to add the moses410@gmail.com account and only added my personal account.
You'll be getting an email today.

I'm selling premade minty boosts.

Seems like a great service A couple of questions, though…
Which version of the MintyBoost do you offer?
Can or do you apply hacks like the one sent in by KRHAiNOS, for making the mintyboost more sturdy?

[Moses_410]

I offer the latest version of the MintyBoost and that case hack would be fine, just let me know thats what you want in your email and prob just stick it in the note of your paypal payment too
