Today is a sad sad day....

Postby gokhotit » Thu Jun 19, 2008 9:10 pm

Due to financial troubles i am going to be forced to sell my sim.  Right now I just want to gauge interst and get a price range for it.  If I do sell it, It will go completed with the uncomplete autopilot panel (not much left to do to it, will provide instructions, and I/O card, to complete it), a CD with FS2PHIDGET and the supporting .ini files to ge it to work.  

It saddens me that things have come to this.  I am almost in tears writing this (they are very manly tears).

I am looking to get about $1500- $2000 for it. :'( :'( :-/ :-[

Thoughts?

That's a shame... but some day you'll build another.
The only advice I can think of is to be sure to advertise not only among pit builders... some may be looking for finished components, but most of us are looking to build our own stuff.

But that's a good price; maybe too good- you might consider auctioning it on eBay, you might get more.

I was going to put it on Ebay, but I just wanted to get an idea if people would actually buy it.  It saddens me to think that there is 4 years of development down the tubes.  This is the third design.

What would be a good/fair price for it? :'(

Only you can answer that... I'd look at the going rate for anything similar, and compare that to what you've spent on parts and materials. Your labor will very likely turn out to be worth diddly in the end... :(
