Ratte's Auto Switch Pre Orders (USA)

[Acill]

At that price, I think I'm withdrawing. Good luck though!

Really? Higpuff charges $58 after euro conversion for shipping one to the US. Waiting for a reply back from the place in China still. If I dont expedite the order it drops the price per board a lot. I may be able to do it for about $10 less at if they lower it down to where I think it will be. Here is the cost of just the boards alone before any parts are ordered to give an idea of what it takes to make these.

Got my quote back to do 25 boards from China. If I made them at just my cost with a small charge for my time I can sell them at $60 which included insured tracked shipping.

Is this a worthwhile price to do? Let me know your thought and I will move forward if I get enough interest.

count me in for one!

Sorry, that was probably not the best way to put it. Personally you know the real reason.

I know a board manufacturer in China that's very reasonable. If you would like contact info PM me.

I'll take one, just tell me how to pre-order/order mine and be glad to

[Acill]

I'll keep the thread posted. I am looking at a couple more options to get boards built. I think $60 is a tad high honestly and would like to see it closer to $50.

Woohoo! Give me a chance to get the PCBs in and see what digikey has in for the parts. That will tell me what the pre-orders will go for.  It's getting close folks. I don't like taking money before I'm 100% sure of things.

The good news about Acill is that when he takes your money for a preorder he actually will immediately assemble your board and ship it out once the parts are there! He is very serious about this. Matter of fact he is OVER ordering parts to ensure he has a surplus and is taking less preorders than boards he is assembling.. so no risk to pre order here!
