if you don't mind me asking, how can you charge $30 including the faceplate? An official MS faceplate is $22 w/ tax and the paint must cost at least $5 for a faceplate like that. Meaning that in the best case, you are charging $3 labor for a fully airbrushed faceplate?

I doubt it, I did a lot of research on wholesale video game accessories a while back. In order to even get your order taken you would have to order MASSIVE quantities. The absolute minimum would be to order, say two hundred faceplates, but for a brand new game console like the 360, I would think it would be more. Not to mention he would also need a tax id and have one hell of a source. My guess is that he is using those crappy TSZ faceplates but I can't be sure.

p.s. I don't mean to be an asshole, I am just wondering how you could cover your costs with $30

nah, this guy is clearly an awesome airbrusher. I couldn't come near what he does to be honest. I am just wondering cause it seems like he is ripping himself off.
