This has been done very well. I'm thinking about selling custom painted nes consoles. What would you pay and what colors would you guys want.

Looks like the color in your camera is showing a big red. You might want to adjust your settings

Custom Nes's are very hard to price. They're obviously all different and slot of people who buy them want theirs unique to them so alot of times you don't get bites. I have one posted up in the wtb thread which i bought for 230 total. Now I'm offing it and my highest offer has been 195. If it's good quality it'll sell but if u plan on making them good luck to u look forward to seeing how they turn out.

Would 125$ be reasonable? as you can see they would come with a matching controller and could be almost any color with almost any led color

Are you saying for what you would charge in general if you were to make them, or this item in particular?

Depends on what people would want on it and how long it would take you.  I'm assuming you'd have them send in the items to you and you wouldn't supply them.  You'd have some competition as there a few established custom painters already doing this that do amazing work.

As for the OP item who knows.  Its just pink... I dunno.

$125 would be fair for a custom order, but you probably won't be able to consistently paint & sell them to random people.

Make a Princess Peach NES with a hot pink LED light.

Would celebrate her birthday
“I’ve come a long way,” said the Captain,
“From Lost Christabel this night.
Accompanied by my dog familiar,
To blast your rafters with my surprise.
Granddaughter, It’s a foreign mirror
Taken from the jungle by crime!”

You should check out Custom Nes Guy's work. It may alter your perception on what a custom Nes that "has been done very well" looks like.

The difference is he uses car paint in a spray booth. I can also do that, but it cost a hell of a lot more. plus of you mess up its more expensive to redo. I got a huge run on the lid and it was no big deal to sand that layer off again. this was correctly wet sanded at least 3 times with different grit papers as fine as 1200. The only difference is I didn't spend 100$ on professionally mixed paint. His work is beautiful but his cost is also as high as the quality work I wish I had a Camera besides my phone that could do this job more justice.
