1) First off, is there a bounty on ppl that order a few of each and make life hard for you?
2) Is that shipping fee valid for EU buyers as well?
3) If most of the switches will be available by 2013, is there any reason for me to get in on them now or would it just be better to wait for a group buy closer to their date of availability?
4) Are there ever any group buys of switches with diodes?
I am new to this if you didn't notice already
1) I asked this question myself (more or less), and the answer was no, there's no "LOWQTYFEES" or anything like that, and neither does it say so in the email I received.
2) AFAIK, yes. I am, however wondering how 7bit plans on splitting up the shippings. He mentioned he would just ship out whatever he gets, but wouldn't that add up the shipping costs?
3) Supposedly not, but you might forget. In any case, there's not much reason not to get in on this now, either, as you could always cancel your order, if need be.
4) If you're talking about LED's, I doubt it, you'll have to find the specific LED's yourself (which shouldn't be too hard either). Other members can fill you in on the requirements for them, as I can't remember them off the top of my head.
