Title: Clear Switches 10-12 weeks .57 each
Post by: codyeatworld on Sat, 16 March 2013, 02:08:41

Wasn't sure where to post this  but since I really like my clears I will probably buying some shortly from Jameco to attempt to convert a board myself. :)

I was looking for clear switches the other day and I contacted Jameco for some info.
The 7bit group buy will have much longer wait time I've heard.

They will sell clear switches for .57 each at a minium of 50+ switches. Non refundable. No higher discount available (maybe you can haggle).
They will ship in 10-12 weeks.

Heres the email:

I've been looking to get 108 clears. If the price is even lower then .57¢ buying in bulk I would love to get in on this if you wanna proxy. Still the cheapest I've seen.

Did anybody jump on this?

They called me saying they would not honor it.
I was busy doing something and got off the phone with them quickly and didn't ask for a manger or anything.

No. My original order was lost on the way to the agent, unlike yours and others, but I didn't have to eat any of the cost outside of time.
