Hit 200 sold modded Switches last week, totally blew my expectations

I started doing shell swaps and fan upgrades for friends back in 2020, just a hobby thing out of my garage in Portland. Last week I shipped out my 200th unit, a custom purple Switch Lite with a Hall effect joystick mod. Did anyone else get surprised by how fast their side gig took off?

Did you actually track time vs profit or just wing it?

200 sold modded Switches and no one had a soldering iron mishap? That's more surprising than the number itself." Man, 200 is wild. I bet your garage smells like isopropyl alcohol and victory at this point. I swear modding stuff is like making pancakes, they just multiply on you. I started swapping shells for one friend and suddenly I'm the neighborhood Nintendo wizard with a waiting list. That purple Lite with the Hall effect sticks sounds slick though, hope you didn't undercharge yourself on labor.
