Anyway, I had this idea that we could organize a group buy for a bunch of teensy 2.0's. I emailed Robin at PJRC (The manufacturers of Teensy products, as well as a few other cool things) last night, and she got back to me this morning with the following pricing:
Teensy 2.0, Without Pins
Qty 1 - 24: $16.00
Qty 25 - 99: $14.40
Qty 100: $12.80
I don't know if there could be more price drops after 100, since I really only asked for the 100 or so mark, since I don't really expect this buy to be all that big.
One other thing I was thinking, if the community would be interested, is adding wire and diodes to the buy, so that we can have everything we need (minus switches and plates, which, for custom builds are more of a source it yourself kind of thing anyway) to build some hand wired boards!
Please post your thoughts and suggestions in this thread!

@Jdcarpe might have some tips, I know he's done a couple teensy group buys.Thanks for the suggestion! I'll be sure to shoot him a pm and ask for some advice!

Might want to think about have the ++ model as well for those doing larger boards.

Depending on lead time I'd be down for a number as well.Yup! I was also thinking about offering some shift registers, since you can do a ton of stuff with those.

For other teensys, I'd have to see about the pricing, and possibly do a poll for one or the other if a combination discount isn't possible.

Is EU buys feasible?I think that depends largely on the number of teensy's that would need to be sent. If it were just one or two, I can't imagine it would be any cheaper than normal, but I could certainly take a look! If someone wanted to act as a proxy over there, I think it would definitely be feasible. Teensy's are small, so it would be pretty easy to ship a medium-large quantity of them over.

A few of these might be nice. I have one hand-wire and a second one with Enablers in the works...Enablers are great! I have a bunch sitting in my desk!

I went out of my way to use LL4148 diodes since the board will be exposed on the bottom. Gateron Yellows will finish it off perfectly!

I'll see about getting a Google form up, so I can get some harder numbers for this!

Edit: would be probably interested in 3-4

If it's shipping to Europe, I'm in a for a few.
+1
Would also love an option for header pins sockets.
Had a hand wiring / basic pcb project in mind for a while now, and also have a few six shooter pcbs laying around...

I'm in the states, and would also (since you're ordering from PJRC anyway...) to get a ++ for Samwioski's GH-122 project. That one's not likely to hit a high volume but it'd be nice to get a slight discount...
Whaddya think folks? Any chance at 25 GH-122 projects?
