Do not get into money relationships with friends, that is a recipe for disaster. |

The trouble is you can get so much crap from China for pittance that people do not see the value in anything anymore, and when it breaks it's just said "yeah, well it was a cheap one from China". I liken it to NTSC - Never the same colo(u)r, or never twice the same color, but from China it is "Never twice the same component", whilst "batches" can have different tolerances, they usually contain the same circuit unlike some experiences from China. |

When it sets his car on fire it will be your fault for sure! |

If he does ask i'll be too busy to help. |

I've built things as gifts for friends and family but I've never tried selling it to them. I have had a handful of random people contact me about my DS1742 adapter board and nobody has balked at the price, although I really don't want to be in the business of assembling widgets. |
