What do you guys think about this:
- start a order thread here on GH and on Deskthority, count how many we need to make. What is the miniumum number of PCBs before we close? What does the volume discount look like?
I'm busy with Round4 so it would be great if you or somone else would start these threads.
- calculate how much each kit should cost: PCB + plate + shipping to distributor + paypal fee + shipping to buyer (may cost more if need second shippment form the US to our European distributor
Shipping costs from Germany are lower than from most of the EU countries.
If it is only for the plates, we could get a bunch of those in one box sent to one location where the PCBs are. Maybe the PCB manufacturer is willing to split the order.
- collect money to initiate PCB and plate orders
- BiNiaRiS orders some plates, it would be great if we can order the minimum order to make sure the plate is correct and matches the PCB
- Once plates are confirmed to be correct, then PrinsValium can order PCBs
This would be a grat idea.
BTW: will the plates be for all variants the PCB allows or will there be dedicated plates?
- Need to find a European distrubutor (7bit?), if there aren't any, we will need to do it from the US
I could do this. Maybe together with others.
- It would be great if BiNiaRiS can receive PCBs and get the plates done so they can be sent out together. I would be happy to help with distribution, but I'd rather not deal with money :-)
- will need to decide what to do with ordering switches and diodes (part of the kit or source switches on your own)
A switch group buy along with this would be great! Maybe others are interested as well so we can order more switches than actually needed for the Phantom.
I would need more than 500. We should start a switch group buy. I can organise collecting quantities.
Something like: Send this to 7bit_switch (or whatever we call that account)
MXBLACK 320
MXCLEAR 220
- same thing for stabilizers
What am I missing?
Luckily I don't need any stabilisers, what are they good for?
;-)
