Arseen:
$1.50 per case starts to sound interesting...

And every $0.10/case of the price is $100/1000 cases which makes it even more tempting as postage will be high for such patch + customs.

Include shipping in to the price of bigger patches (lets say 1000+ cases) and I would definitely buy 1000 cases @ 1.50/case (maybe bit more).

Arseen:
In my opinion logo can be screaming pink in color ad be in many spots as long as it's not holes! ;D

Arseen:
Price wise it would be nice if you could get reseller that is in EU so we can save on the tax and customs... that again would increase the price I would be willinbg to pay.

Harbertus:
This might be too much to ask for, but wouldn't it be wonderful if the cases had sharper edges? Kind of like the UGCs but shorter and thinner;

I think it matches the look and feel of the original cardboard boxes more closely.

You all are my "test market" and your input is golden. All of you hunt the web and are savvy with the current game market, I'm the type of guy that would pay $3ea without thinking... but I want these to be epic and everywhere, just like the UGC is.

Be brutal. Be real. ;)

I think asking what WE would pay is not going to give you a true reaction of what they will sell for out in the real world. You need to push the price down to what will cover your startup costs and production of first 1 or 2 runs and not be looking at profit until after you've shifted those. You can then tweak the price up or down without worrying about how to shift another 100 cases. If you want them as widespread as UGCs you'll need resellers. Perhaps riviera in the UK would be a good place to target? They will be wanting an even lower price as a reseller - so it all comes down to your production costs really.. Getting in touch with Seymour onion might also be a good idea - if he's prepared to sell your cases on his site or at least link to you might be a big help. For both of you.

I imagine recouping the tooling costs will require the sale of MANY thousands of these, and that simply won't happen if they're $2-5 a pop. Retailers are gonna be hard to convince since there are already very similar products on the market, and I'm sure they are paying .25 or less per case in most instances. Very few retailers are gonna give two shits about GB/GBC compatibility, especially if wholesale is 3-4 times what their used to for a retail price.

This product is very niche. VERY. It's not gonna be easy to make money with these. You may want to consider adding functionality to them before moving forward. Possibly Game Gear support and any others that can be shoehorned in there. There's definitely no need for DS support. That's pretty well covered by the market already. For these to be successful, I sincerely feel that they need to fill a larger gap in the market, and holding GB games just isn't filling that gap.
