UPDATE: PRE-ORDERS STARTING SOON!
Hi!
You might have seen my very first Project build here. It was also featured in the community spotlight, which was an awesome moment for me!
Building it was alot of fun for me and I learned alot along the way. I am already on the way to my next build, so if you liked it, stay tuned for more! So, you might have gotten the idea to reproduce this build in a similar way, to be more precise with a Raspberry Pi 2 or even a Pi 3 like I did.
Interestingly, I got sooo many private messages with questions from all kinds of people all around the globe (even outside of sudomod!
), and even people literaly registering up here only to ask me questions here! 
That's so crazy and awesome! Okay, so the majority of them were regarding desoldering the parts from a Raspberry Pi 3 like I did in my build:
In those messages I have also noticed that alot of ladies and gentlemen in here actualy would be building their gameboy's with a Pi 2/3, but "revert" back to a Pi Zero because it is easier to use, because they get shy and uncomfortable when they think about having to desolder the parts off the board.
I can totaly understand that, as you need to have I'd say "above average soldering experience" to pull this off, and most of them just have basic to average knowledge or no experience collected at all and this is their first "building experience". I also had some people who were actualy attempting to desolder their Pi's and ended up with a totaly broken Raspberry Pi.
One day, a gentleman from Scottland kindly asked me to do it for him for a small fee, because he said I'd be his best bet on that, and I was OK with that as well. It turned out like this:
Then it got me thinking:
You see my idea here? Good."If so many people ask me for advice/help and even some request to have a service and even would be happily paying for it, because it's a good service, right?"
"Hmm."
"How about selling pre-stripped Pi's (pre-stripped by myself) in the sudomod market? It would totaly make the one's lives who want to use a Pi2/3 in their builds but are too shy to go about desoldering much easier."
So my question to the public:
Do you want Pre-stripped Raspberry Pi's?
Let me give you a more detailed view of what I had in my mind:
To ensure everything is good with your unit, I will be doing complete tests on each Pi before and after each operation, and include this sheet, which my first customer also got from me:
As you might have noticed, the section "Camera header" and "Display header" have a "?" in their statuses and are not being tested. It is because I have nothing to test them with (yet).
But that should be fine, because you are probably not going to use them in the Gameboy anyways. Maybe in the future I will be able to test them, though 
Also keep in mind, those things will NOT be tested if they were selected for desoldering because of obvious reasons:
- HDMI
- Camera header
- Display header
Well, you get to choose the model of Raspberry Pi you want to be modified first. Possible options will be (for the time being then):
- Raspberry Pi 2
- Raspberry Pi 3
Then you get to choose what you want to be removed. Possible options will be:
- USB0 & USB1
- USB2 & USB3
- LAN
- HDMI
- 3.5mm jack which includes Composite AV & Audio L & Audio R
- Camera header
- Display header
- All GPIO pins, but there you can also choose these options:
- Keep pin header for specific pin(s) (And then a list where you can choose).
I thought about it like this: Cost of Raspberry Pi I will pay + 10,- € desoldering & testing + Shipping to youSo how much will it cost?
I think 10,- € is a fair price. I could be totaly wrong though, please give me suggestions!
I'll be honest: I don't have any experience in bidding a service of some kind, and I am just a little sceptical if people would actualy be in need for something like this for said price.Why not just do it and set up like a "pre-ordering system"?
So if you liked this anyways and think it is a good idea and potentialy even would want to buy something like this, please vote!
Thank you very much!
