Belgium added to shipping destinations via a customer request

UPDATE: I knew something was off. I checked the Electron Analog box and invoice and it appears that the company that supply the Analogs are putting incorrect information on an invoice inside the box. It appears they are printing out an invoice with an older higher price, compared to what I paid. I sent all the information over to Shane earlier and he has confirmed it is indeed wrong. I imagine a swift resolution will come after todays US holiday, as both seem to have fantastic customer service. At least it wasn't me being a donut on that one.

I've been back over my import emails today and realised that I wasn't in fact overcharged on the Electron X-Out. DHL had grouped 2 orders together of 6 units (2 x 3) in their possession.

What this does though, is raises our current batch by £7.50 each

I've made 3 available on the website, however, at the slightly higher price. Nothing I can do about the cost.

If they charge, I'll have to. If they don't I will lower it back down as orders are delivered.

If you're going to do a crystal X3CP... start it right

I don't even bill for doing the chassis, it's a pride in my build kinda thing.

It's never usually rusty behind the PSU insulation pad, so just mask off the glue, do your work and then peel the tape off, for the insulation to stick back down OK.

I really don't remember it being quite like this but man it's funny.

Alright everybody, here it is!! The FULL MOVIE of our Cardboard Sta...

We've added 10 Electron Analog to stock.

After disappearing for 2 weeks past when we should have received them and launching a claim to have them replaced, we received them out of the blue, because DHL for unknown reasons routed them through Germany and they were lost since August 21st.

I was in contact with Corso (like an insurance division) for lost items from Electron and they were about to re-issue / refund when they finally arrived. Total sh*tshow.

Really poor service from DHL.

We'll soon be providing Xbox motherboards on the web-shop. Hopefully there will be a full range of refurbished 64mb, 128mb and also the specialist 1.4Ghz CPU upgraded type coming.

We've already had a couple of 1.4Ghz boards made in the past, so its a case of picking up where we left off. These will all have 128mb and premium Rubycon capacitors.

Without milling the heatsink, these will need to be DVD deleted builds due to the raised profile of the CPU. Personally I recommend a dual fan kit for good cooling too.

Cerbios or Stellar should be capable of handling the game speed without pre-patching anymore (I believe Cerbios introduced this in 3.x bios)

The motherboards are all the same, regardless of country. Just pair with the correct PSU and then design your build around it.

We'll also be providing stock from Steve Robinson directly who has great RAM upgrade skills but refurbishment will be handled by XDevPro for Warranty purposes. We've already been working with Steve, but now this will be us handling his stock as well.

Found this in the back pocket of my jeans

May as well build a customer a unit 😂

(Paid for already guys so no point asking I'm afraid)

Last one before the hols? Hmm maybe, or may sneak a 1 0f 5000 green console in there time permitting... our current ready made consoles are dire at the moment. I realised I had sold 2 via PayPal but not removed from the website at the time.

UPDATE: SOLD

So it looks like the sale of my Panzer Dragoon Orta is happening this Saturday.

I've spent several hours documenting all labels and the graphic just so I have all the details for a possible future reproduction attempt.

I have input micrometer dimensions and charted the gaps, lines and nodes in an AI model for future vectoring.

I never noticed the Xbox logo on the DVD bezel was black lettering.

If my Mrs hadn't lent me the money at the time, I'd never have owned this so guess who is getting a new kitchen if the sale goes through. (of course the correct answer to that is the entire household) and yes I did pay her the money back so she is no longer invested in the console, it's just a nice gesture. 😄

Customs have somehow charged crazy import fees on several of the last purchases from Electron Analog.

For example, 3x Electron X-Out had £44.61 fees added (£32.61 VAT plus £12 handling fee) which has not only never happened before ever, but breaks the import model completely.

Firstly, the value was £96. VAT on imports is 20% in the UK so this should have been £19.20 plus the handling fee (but normally I'm not charged it).

Now I'll have to either fill out a BOR286 form to claim the overpayment back with Border Force (for Royal Mail only) or for a private courier there is a separate process (EVRI or DHL as an example) using digital form C285.

The break-even cost of these is now £64.87 (unless part-refunded) plus postage so we may not be able to continue importing them for sale. I've been speaking to Shane at Electron about it, in the last hour.

Sad times in the UK. It appears the Government are over-taxing on imports to the tune of 36% if you include the handling fee (should be 20% max) to get extra money, probably because they have swamped the country with illegal immigrants then give them everything free.

Whats hilarious, is that if we post TO the US, we have to pay it all in advance, so why is it not done the same in reverse?

If you are wondering why this has been allowed to happen in Europe, well my answer would be that the baby boomer generation is at retirement age and living longer and it completely breaks the pension model. They seem to think this will fix it but it's actually financial su***de.
