Cool idea. Ridiculous price IMO. Anyone here can purchase the router for $30-40 and any old usb for about $15-20
placing the total to about $60 and make their own PBox for a lot less by simply following the directions on the DIY page by David.

TPlink MR3020 $35 + tax = $40
Sandisk cruzer fit 32GB $15 + tax = $20
$40 + $20 = $60 total cost to me.

Basically you are paying me $40 to build it for you, If you can do it yourself then you don't need me, If you want one but can't do it yourself then pay me $100 and ill take care of it for you.

That is my price and it's what i feel my labor is worth, You don't have to pay it you can always do it yourself but i can tell you the installation is tricky the first time, One mistake and you will brick your device.

I have built a couple Pirate Boxes from the MR3020 and $40 is a great price to avoid the frustrations you're bound to run into.

If you like tinkering and getting stuff to work, build your own.

If you just want a pirate box the easy way, this price is quite fair, IMO.

I believe so, And of course for me to eve bother offering such a service i need to make at least a little profit or there is no point.

I know what i'm doing as well, I have about 3 years experience flashing routers with openwrt and dd-wrt firmwares, I have built 2 pirateboxes for myself so far and they are both running flawlessly, One is built from the tplink mr3020 and another one i built from a raspberry pi b model.
