Cherry MX Clear Plate Mount MX1A-C1NN
$0.69 apiece

Shipping to CONUS: $5.80 small flat rate box (unless you buy more switches than will fit in it) via USPS
Shipping elsewhere: ask

I am in need of some Cherry MX Clear switches, and unfortunately, Pexon's recent GB fell through.
We have already reached OnlineComponents MOQ of 500 pieces for a total of $0.69 per switch:

Product Link

I am in the US. I am open to shipping international if all of my cost is covered. You cover shipping from me to you - thats it.

The maximum number of switches I'll order for this GB will be 1158. This is to keep shipping cost to 2x flat rate boxes ($400 max order per box). Total available is listed below.

I've bought from clears from them before. Make sure you account for state tax. I believe they charge tax in most states.

SmallFry · « **Reply #2 on:** Wed, 12 June 2013, 00:54:44 »

Not saying that you are not trust worthy, but you are a new member to the site and people may be weary of buying.
Also, FWIW, ask JDCarpe for his TaoBao Clear source, I believe there was no MOQ and it was .50-something a switch IIRC.

Good point, WhiteFireDragon. Added the extra $0.06 to each switch to compensate.

Also a good point, SmallFry. I'm aware it is a long shot but it doesn't seem like there is anything else viable going on. Gotta start somewhere...

SmallFry · « **Reply #6 on:** Wed, 12 June 2013, 01:06:08 »

I understand also, GLWGB, of course. I didn't mean it in a bad way whatsoever. Always good to see new members jumping off the deep end.

Are switches .79 each with or without tax? Anyway, I'm in.

Hey Ryan Uber!

Should you not reach the MOQ, I can help you out and send you the clears for 0.54 EUR (~$0.72) per switch, by end of July, for just 4 EUR ($5.31).

:-)

Ryan Uber · « **Reply #9 on:** Wed, 12 June 2013, 10:07:41 »

I'm pretty certain 7bits clear's are all pre-order and I already placed my switch orders from 7bit since pexon closed his group buy or else I'd offer to help with buying these.

Dianoda · « **Reply #12 on:** Wed, 12 June 2013, 10:48:45 »

As far as I can tell, there is no sales tax from Mouser for shipping to Illinois - I'm tempted to just order 500 and sell what I don't need via classifieds, although I don't want to undermine the GB...

Shipping to the buyer from Mouser is pretty cheap, too - there is a $5 low cost USPS option (although I'd probably do the $7 USPS priority mail option). So, 500 switches would cost $371.99, effective switch price would be approx 74.4 cents per switch. Assuming GB participants don't order more than 100 or so switches, you could ship these out to US-based GB participants via a USPS priority mail small flat rate box for $5.15.

I also found onlinecomponents.com, which is a bit cheaper ($0.69 per switch for 500+): http://www.onlinecomponents.com/cherry-electrical-mx1ac1nn.html?p=11075427 - shipping for 500 switches would be $9.95, so $354.99/500 = about $.71 per switch - anyone ever use them as a vendor before?

Ryan Uber · « **Reply #13 on:** Wed, 12 June 2013, 11:14:18 »

Wow - sounds great Dianoda. I would also be interested in purchasing from onlinecomponents. If no one chimes in with anything negative about them, perhaps we should switch the vendor for this buy to them.

Looks like the cheapest postage rate within the US will be $6.35 via USPS. So with a $0.69 switch price and no tax, it seems like a pretty sweet deal.

As cheap as possible

Ryan Uber · « **Reply #22 on:** Wed, 12 June 2013, 22:05:28 »

We are already almost at the MOQ of 500. I updated the main post with total switches and orders so far. We could get this going even earlier than anticipated and get the $0.69/swich pricing if no one who has already ordered would object to buying from http://www.onlinecomponents.com/cherry-electrical-mx1ac1nn.html?p=11075427 instead of Mouser. Any opposed to changing vendors?

Updated main post to reflect OnlineComponents since there seems to be no hard feelings against them here. I have an inquiry in to them to confirm that the 1800 pcs displayed stock on their site is actually true. Will update here when they respond. Otherwise this is looking like it will be a go

Photoelectric · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 13 June 2013, 20:33:59 »

What is your plan for shipping and final costs per switch, Ryan Uber?

In other words, should I expect to pay for 60 switches shipped within continental U.S.? $0.69 per switch does not reflect shipping cost to you--unless you won't be including that.

Everyone, I am thinking we might need to close orders now and get this order in. OnlineComponents has 1485 in stock now and we are at 985 switches. One purchase from OnlineComponents by someone else might wreck this GB.

Any opinions?

Ryan Uber · « **Reply #37 on:** Fri, 14 June 2013, 11:09:27 »

I am ready for cut-off now and getting that order in. Maybe we can cut it off at the end of today to allow anyone to change the number of switches etc. I'll start sending invoices today to speed this whole thing up if we close it early. I'll also update the main post with a note about this.

We should probably add the order deadline to the thread title (edit: include the timezone, too. ie, orders close 6/14 at 11:59PM CST, etc.).

Also, once we have the final order quantity, contact onlinecomponents for a shipping quote - it looks like shipping is not flat-rate if the order total is >$399.99. Additionally, if the shipping quote is more than $19.90, we could just split the order in half to get the order totals to under $400 again (assuming the final order quantity is greater than 1000 switches and less than 1160 switches), in which case, each order would qualify for the $9.95 flat-rate shipping option they offer.

Thanks Dianoda - excellent points. You must have done a few group buys before yourself. Updated the title, and waiting on a reply from onlinecomponents with the current numbers. I figure it will at least be a pretty good estimate, and if we end up with more switches being added we can go from there.

Ryan Uber · « **Reply #41 on:** Fri, 14 June 2013, 12:30:41 »

Out of curiosity, would anyone have a problem moving the payment date up as well? The important thing is that we get the order completed soon. I guess it will be more apparent once the invoices are sent

Hopefully most folks will move quickly.

We dont provide quotes, the pricing is as listed online. If the order total goes over $399.99, it doesn't qualify for flat rate shipping so the total for shipping is unknown.

Your 80 switch order will push the total number of switches over 1158, which will be a grand total of more than $800, which means that I would need to pay for 3x flat rate boxes. I was OK with handling 2 on my own but I can't do the 3rd without being compensated for distributor shipping to me. I mentioned this in the main thread. If you are ok with paying the distributor's cost of $6.95 extra for the extra switches, then I can definitely do this for you.

It is in the main thread. There are only 23 that will fit into the original 2x flat rate boxes.

Edit: Also, with the extra ship cost, it still would be only the equivalent of $0.77 per switch which isnt bad. Hard to find them that cheap for that quantity.

Ryan Uber · « **Reply #69 on:** Sat, 15 June 2013, 01:39:07 »

Yep you are clear. Sorry for any confusion.

I have placed order #1 with onlinecomponents. They will ship out on Monday. I will complete the second order with them as soon as the rest of the invoiced orders are paid.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #70 on:** Sat, 15 June 2013, 09:06:53 »

I ordered 100, but I'm going to give up my spot. Maybe missalaire and Photoelectric can agree to split them 25/75?

I just don't need them as much as some other people do.

Thanks for understanding. If for some reason you can't you can't sell them, Ryan Uber, let me know so I can pay the invoice.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #71 on:** Sat, 15 June 2013, 09:15:08 »

I would be happy to get 75 switches, if no one is ahead in line and you are sure

Thank you for offering!

Sorry - I haven't been posting updates as new responses. I was updating the main thread. I have box 1 of 2. The second box should arrive today. I already have all of the flat-rate shipping boxes. I think I'll be able to have all of them in the mail on their way to everyone by Monday. I'll do the counting and packaging this weekend.

Out of pure curiosity, what are people doing with their clear switches? Will you use the clear springs and stem? Will you take all of them apart to lube them?
Just curious because my first set of clears I just installed as-is and love them, but can't help but want to try ergo's.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #103 on:** Sat, 22 June 2013, 12:43:47 »

I'm probably putting in 65g springs into mine (or 62g). I have a set of Krytox 103 and 201 oil/grease from Limmy and a couple bottles of Victorinox Multi-tool oil, so I'll be doing full lubing and stickering.

One thing that makes it somewhat easier is using the small flat rate USPS boxes and printing shipping labels straight from PayPal.

Dropped all packages off at the post office. Declared values on international packages as $30. The international postage rates didn't match up completely with the price I charged. The difference was ~$1 on each. If you are angry about that >_< please let me know via PM and I will make it right. Postage price is printed on the labels. I'll PM the tracking numbers on international orders this evening.

Photoelectric · « **Reply #121 on:** Mon, 24 June 2013, 15:34:53 »

<-- not international, but wanted to say that we should probably be paying YOU. Because I don't think you included PayPal fees into the price, as when you requested money, you probably had to give up ~3% of each payment. That's already $1.55 difference for 75 switches, and $2.07 for 100 switch-orders that you lost.

ETA: my numbers were off--corrected!

elton5354 · « **Reply #122 on:** Mon, 24 June 2013, 15:38:24 »

Did you mark it as gift? If you did, then the min value without being taxed is $60 for us. If not then it is less than $20.

That's generous, Photoelectric. It's cool though. I bought 90 clears from TheKeyboardCompany like 2 months ago and spent $130. I am still saving money compared with that transaction. I realized the paypal fee only after I had invoiced everyone. I'll account for it in future GB's.
