It looks like some people will pay anything somebody asks them to.
But remember, as we mentioned here before, modifying a PXL is really easy.
You can probably do it yourself, somebody has already posted pictures
and step by step instructions based on my general guidelines which
I posted here several months ago.
If there is such a strong demand and people are willing to pay for it,
I think it is time for me to offer a PXL modification service.
(Both video + audio)
I figure it will take me about 2 hours (including the visit to Radio Shack
or Fry's to get the jacks) so I am pricing it at just $50 plus UPS shipping.
(To send it back to you).
If you are in L.A. just bring it to me at USC. If I am not too busy
(which I usually am unfortunately) I may be able to do it while you wait.
For "while you wait" service it's better to come after 6pm.
p.s. I am also looking for non-functioning PXLs to buy and fix.
