It's just a bunch of plastic steel & circuits ~ the actual cost of making this thing couldn't have been more than $20 US zamoolas .. I should've bought these motherfscking overpriced $180 dollar cowboy colored goochie-slippers when I had the chance ~ Image size reduced, original size: 5376 x 3024.

Out of 216 cards I got several Super Rares, 4 Ultra Rares and 2 Secret Rares, but not the cover monster. |

Price, cost of making something, and materials used in something are all very loosely related. The materials used in something is actually a very small portion of the cost of making said object, and is an even smaller portion in determining the price. For example, the materials composing a $150 Moto E and the materials composing a $1000 iPhone X is not very different. However, the cost of making these two phones are probably very different, and the price of these two phones are even more different. | ||

ShiMACHaze Group: Advanced Members Posts: 19,542 Member No.: 5,394 Joined: Feb 5th 2005 Location: Drydock | Agreed. Your BOM (bill-of-materials; raw material cost) is not your actual cost. You still have to get it together, and that's going to cost additional money (which can be labor as well as sunken costs like the cost of a reflow solder facility, the stencils for your PCBs, the solder itself, etc). Then you have to factor in marketing and operational costs (as necessary/willing). Then you'll probably want a bit on top to make it all worthwhile... ...at which point you are probably right around the actual retail cost of the device in question. |

ShiMACHaze Group: Advanced Members Posts: 19,542 Member No.: 5,394 Joined: Feb 5th 2005 Location: Drydock | Yeah. As I've discovered myself through creating my first homebrew device, sometimes the fact that a part exists isn't enough to get it to you as a normal human being at a residential address with no history behind your name. There are parts that are only sold wholesale to name-brand companies, by companies who don't want to deal with small fries like us. |

Cases & skins, no matter how white & thin they are, always add an unnecessary layer of heat to a phone under the sun... The ideal thing would be not to carry a phone at all; but people need a music player/camera/telephone/etc while jogging. So it's best to choose one with a reflective/non-heat absorbent color like white. Nonetheless I like the protection a case offers, so I bought one from Tech21. It's always a trade-off with electronics and dynamic activities like exercising. 🤷♀️

moon bunny Group: XIAO Posts: 5,735 Member No.: 13,323 Joined: Oct 4th 2005 Location: Update Profile | Choosing a phone is a very personal thing, to a slightly lesser degree, it's like choosing a computer or a car. Personally I look for 2 things in a phone, a great camera and great storage. ie. Pictures & Music, the two things I mainly use a phone for. That said, these are my top 5 phones of 2018, and why: 1. Pixel 3 - killer camera 2. iPhone XS - great camera & killer storage 3. Razer 2 - hella amazing specs!but falls short of good storage & camera 4. Galaxy S9 - killer display & design!nice camera & storage 5. Huawei P20 Pro - best camera period ~ amazing design ~ so-so storage & software Honorable mentions: 6. Asus ROG 1 - looks very promising ☆ 7. iPhone Xr - pretty colors! 8. Honor 8X - beautiful reflective red & blue design!bad specs Image size reduced, original size: 1423 x 900.

It was intentional. Within the context of trying to say that the picture of the sun eclipsed by the clouds was beautiful (kirei). I used this character 奇 because it still means the same, albeit it's more archaic & denotes something peculiar more than beautiful. Whereas this character 綺 is the ordinary one used by most people, and denotes the universal connotation of something beautiful. The initial way I typed it was deliberate, to try to say that the pic of the sun looked beautiful, in a peculiar way! ✨ My Japanese isn't perfect by a long shot! Nomake, J', and Meteor all have a better understanding of it than me. ^^ I thought you knew Nihongo Nerubi-pai, but hey practice makes perfect ^^ ~ ♪ | ||||

I can pronounce "r" like japanese people do, so I think it's a good beginning. | ||
