WTB - 65 >>>NEW<<< Cherry PCB mount switches (any color)
« on: Mon, 20 May 2013, 13:06:28 »
Looking to buy around 65 NEW cherry PCB mount switches. I don't really need stems or springs, so if you've recently picked up some switches from 7bit or another group buy for only the stems/springs, I'd love to pick up the leftover parts.
Please PM me with offers :)

I can pay via Amazon Payments or Paypal - Heatware in signature

i just ordered 70 plate mounted mx blue switches from this site last night.

http://www.onlinecomponents.com/cherry-electrical-mx1ae1nn.html?p=11075429

not bad. cheaper than mouser who wanted to sell me the switches for $.91 a pop. shipping was 7 dollars and i am in the US.  so for 70 blue switches i paid 66.45 which is too much but whatever.  i attempted to give 7-bit some business but the delivery time and strange invoice style put me off.

Thank You, but I don't need stems or springs and I would never spend $0.91 per switch even if I did.

Edit - They also need to be PCB mount

You just need the bottom housings or the complete housing?

I might be okay with only the bottom housings, but they need to be new and PCB mount. I have until August to pick these up, so I'm not too worried about finding them before then. The switches that came with my used clears are fine and this is more of an unneeded, semi-OCD, luxurious solution lol. I kinda figured there would be a lot of people buying new switches from 7bit and elsewhere, who would only need or want the stems springs.

So you have used, plate mount(?) housings? Why not a trade?

No, I bought a bunch of used clears from Taobao awhile ago. They're PCB mount and in perfectly fine condition. Like I said, I made the assumption that someone probably has 65 new (keyword new) empty PCB mount switches they'd let go of for cheap and I'd like to pick them up.

Edit - It's more of an "if it happens it happens and if it doesn't, it doesn't" kind if thing. No big deal either way :)

Had two offers. One fell through, the other was too high, so I'm still looking :)
