I may be starting a business that focuses on Xbox One and 360 controllers. I will offer a service where people can send in a controller and for a flat rate I will customize shell, buttons, thumb sticks and anything else them clean the controller and send it back.

I don't know how high demand is for vanilla controllers when companies like scuff have so much more to offer. I need to know how much people are willing to pay for the service. I think base price will be about $15 plus a bit extra for anything else to upgrade.

Some perks I'll offer are quick feedback on questions by customers, extreme flexibility with customization, fair pricing, quick return shipping and a money back guarantee.

So? What do you guys think and what is fair pricing?

Dude that sounds pretty cool with nice pricing. I say go for it you never know until you try. If you want my feedback I think it's great along with the pricing. Good Luck!

There is already big companies doing this that have built up a reputation in this field of work.

Honestly I would think about creating a unique business instead of following others as it won't get you far.

That's the plan. All companies I can think of just try to sell you controllers that are way overpriced and make your original controller obsolete. I'm offering the ability to send in your controller- say what you want on it and then in about a week its back in your hands ready to sync back to your xbox and use.

I can offer monster grips, alloy thumb sticks, trigger stops, bullet buttons, custom LED jewel, new shell and pretty much anything you can ask for. Im just going to charge a bit for labor and then I pack it back up and you get it in about 2 days.

It'll just be a hobby and something I can do after work and if the business doesn't go anywhere its no big deal but if UT does I'd be happy to keeping doing the work.
