Did I learn my lesson after the whole memory card fiasco? I don't know yet, that's where you come in.

I was thinking about spraying up a console, like I did with the blube, and selling it on ebay.

The advantages - it should look better quality as the memory cards did, and will all be one colour (so no un-neat lines between colours).

The disadvantages - It might not appeal to anyone, and it might still come across as not upto quality standards (although it would be).


So, should I throw good money after bad, buy a new (or 2nd hand) cube, spray and sell?
Or should I just quit while I'm only a little bit behind?


Also:

Would you be willing to buy a coloured cube? What colour? How much?

Would I do better to offer a service where they send me their cube, and I fit the coloured casing then send the cube back to them?
How much would you pay for this?

The same colour as the Mana Blue GBA SP would rock.

Dr Duck - people on eBay sell stick on adheseive (but removable) kits for around £10 already you know ? Getting people to send their cubes could be a hassle, plus they may not want to spend £5 posting it to you, etc

Do you know of any good pages which tell you how to mod your console like this ? I wanna paint my Xbox :)

Oh, I forget to answer ur question Dr.Duck. Um, I wouldn't risk it, memory cards are quite cheap and you won't be that bad if it messes up but gamecube's are alot of money so I wouldn't risk it because if it messes up you'll have wasted alot of money :(

The only other problem Dr Duck, is that spraying the Cube negates the warranty on it, Nintendo do a 24 month from purchase one so many may not want to endanger that.
