Title: [IC] Unified daughterboard C3 (R2)
Post by: Sh1zaru on Wed, 01 June 2022, 12:50:04
Hello GH

As people have been filling in my previous IC/GB form I suspect that there's still some interest in these boards.
Therefore I'm willing to rerun a (small) GB of the unified daughterboard C3 if enough people are interested.
Like my previous GB, I want to run this very quickly (1 week IC/GB).

Pricing

Approx 5-10USD. (Awaiting updated pricing from manu, order quantity will influence pricing as well)

Color

Black PCB

So if you're interested please fill in the google form: https://forms.gle/EfMvREH2X4zE8Gtd6

Lol we can find these in-stock everywhere. What are you offering that would make us want to join your group buy over an in-stock vendor?

$5-10? There's nothing on the PCB that should make the cost that high.

Edit: because this is a group buy, not an instock item, so there's no risk for the runner and the "profit" is just gravy here.

Should've pointed out: I'm located in the EU, last time the buyers were (mostly) EU customers as well.
Anyway, I'm not sure if they're in stock in the EU right now. Last time, they weren't. That's why I'm running this IC, to see if people are interested.

See above.

If I buy them (MOQ 50 units in mind) the cost is approx 7USD/unit shipped to my door incl. fees and import taxes. So if I would sell this item for 10USD (excl fees, incl. 21% VAT) i'm "making" 1USD/unit. I hope you see it's not for 'profit'.

Anyway, as the sentient regarding this IC is quite negative, I'll close it. Thanks for the responses though!
Last time the response was a bit more positive (see https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=114592.msg3081822#msg3081822)  so I did not expect this tbh.

As someone in the UK I was interested in this!

I find the people saying "I can find these everywhere" funny because well, they're not everywhere are they?

Would be interested getting this in SEA but shipping from EU or US will be just as expensive.
