Selling a Custom Build
-
I've been building these modded PSPs for a while now and I plan to sell one of them on eBay.
Obviously I won't include an OS with the console, but anyone that's been following my projects knows that I'm using RetroPie. The first thing they are going to do is download RetroPie and then hit my site to get info on how to configure everything.
Is there any certain way you guys would like to see this described in a listing? Should I give the makers of RetroPie the credit they deserve or should I make no mention of it?

I'm happy for you to mention RetroPie. Cheers.

Hi guys, I've been mulling this one over myself - thought I'd add to the discussion here rather that start a new thread.
My build's gone through a couple of iterations so I've actually 3 complete builds and nagging from the wife about them cluttering up the house is making me lean toward eBay.
As @adamspc has mentioned, selling without the OS installed is the way to go to avoid any legal uncertainties. I've seen a lot of very basic or low quality builds for sale with OS and 1,000s of games included but I'm yet to see a decent, high quality build sold without OS - is there any demand for these? Anyone have any experience?
Speaking of low quality builds, has anyone seen these guys: http://pixelarcades.co.uk/product-category/retro-games-consoles/ ? Looks to just be a console shell with usb controllers pulled through holes - very little modding going on here. Not even any mention of a safe shutdown circuit which should really be a must. Flagrant profiteering but at those prices I'd be very surprised if anyone is actually buying them.
