I charge a flat-rate to install the SNES Edge-Enhancer and recap the system, why? The answer is in these pictures. Most of the units sent to me require extensive repair from rot. If your SNES is taking a little longer, bear with me! I promise, I'm giving your SNES the BEST care, possible!

Making recapping a necessity is a good idea to make sure that people can enjoy their SNES for years to come. Do you have an idea how long you will do installs only and do documentation, before you will sell them to everyone including Europe?

People don't like surprising billing so you run it flat rate.  That's good. I would honestly charge two rates: One for repairing a non-working SNES and installing the mods, and another for refurbishing a working one and installing the mods. If it works it is less likely to require more work.

I think that’s a good idea in theory, but until you get it open, you don’t really know what’s going to be needed, which adds some room for needing to contact the customer.

My SNES 2-chip and SNES Jr. are currently in storage on another continent. They were fine when I put them in storage, but they haven't been recapped. Seeing photos like this makes me worry, I can't get to them for at least another year, maybe not even until January 20th, 2029...
