"hey were chargin me 200 to fix it if it was the scsi fuse"

That seems a little steep for a 66 cent part. Who gave you that quote?

rogue music in nyc. i know it was steep but i heard you cant do it urself, i would have done it if it was possible cause 200 for a fuse is robbery... good thing it was just the cable..

"rogue music in nyc"

There has been a history with them. You can find it if you look. I guess the price you can charge is directly proportional to your popularity.

I've charged as little as $35 for the same repair. 1 hour labor, Part was free.

That is to be expected. Effectively a pawn shop. If you are in the business of used resale, you would rarely pay more than 1/2 of what you could get for it.
