i'd like to know give me a link, you make no sense tapedeck


actually this does make sense. buy some broken mpcs, take them apart, sell the parts. frequent ebay, craigslist, pawn shops, etc. you'll end up finding cheap, broken mpc's. buy a broken mpc, try to fix it if you have some knowledge of electronics. if you can fix it, you can then resell it on ebay for small profit. if you can't fix it, then use it for parts for the next one..........if you don't use all the parts for the next one, you can sell them on a site.




i been to pawnshops and looked on craigslist and ebay and there are people selling broke down crap for the price of a good mpc, so how can they make any money of they pay those prices and still have to fix it

there are only some major parts that mpc's need replacement that i can see these companies make some money on and the rest is frames and mounts and crap that nobody needs how long do you think you'll sit on that junk you buy before you can even make your money back

anyway sending my screen in mine is too screwed up to even read anything. i'm sorry i cant trust this thread for accurate information about this company. modman is the only one that said he actually dealt with them and the rest of you havent and just keep looking for any litttle reason to say bad crap about them. I ready his other posts and yeah he was a loud mouth on the envision thread but there are people on this tread the keep pushing envision screens and downing mpcworld so how can i believe anything they say if they're biased

and that is the real reason you cant trust this thread for accurate info... the company is new, nobody has dealt with them yet except for the owner of the company modsman.

Also, the fact they demand that you return your old screen to "recycle" them is full of shit. Recycling screens of that size wouldn't earn them more then a dime in material (I have worked in electronics recycling). We are talking about a small worthless screen except for the fact it's a one of a kind design... and yet they try and claim they are not repairing them? I bet they are and are lying about it, or they are selling/giving the returned screens to their sister company that repairs them in order to refill their stock. Otherwise, where would they be getting screens from that has been close to impossible to find new for half of the last decade... that nobody else knows about?

Not everyone can afford to pay $365 for a screen

exactly why i hope envision comes through with a $160, brand new, modern screen.
...


so don't try to twist things around like that.

yall are "both" taking this pretty personally, dont you think?
and nobody has answered b.read's question yet.

so even if they fix the broken screens or have some factory do it for them is that not a form of recycling?
