2x3x4 LED and SIP socket Group Buy
Round 1: Cyan, Pink, Sky Blue
LEDs are coming from this aliexpress store. Later rounds will feature more colors assuming that this goes well.
Quote from: dorkvader on Mon, 25 August 2014, 14:47:05 Why buy from this IC?
It’s easy. You don’t have to make a throwaway account with them (they will spam your email and all your youtube ads will be for them) and deal with all that.
It might be cheaper. Not sure if I’ll split packs or not. We’ll see.
SIP sockets are the longer ones that MIL MAX makes and are my favorite for keyboards. They’re being sourced from Mouser unless someone finds a better price.
Payment will be handled by PayPal invoice. As dorkvader mentioned there’s every chance it’ll be cheaper for international orderers to buy directly from the aliexpess store. If we hit outrageous discounts I’ll revisit international orders. Orders that aren’t in multiples of 100 will be shipped out last.
International orders will be fulfilled by hwood34 who will send a separate invoice for shipping them.
Prices
cyan: $0.04/each 10000 count price reached!
pink: $0.06/each 10000 count price reached!
skyblue: $0.04/each 10000 count price reached!
sip socket: $0.07/each next break at 32000 count and alternate source is sending samples
Final price may be a be between tiers so extras and padding counts can be reached.
Order Deadlines
Order deadline is midnight the night of Wednesday 10 December. (officially midnight is on Thursday but you get the idea) After then, you’ll be able to increase your order until all payments are in but you won’t be able to decrease your orders and risk hurting tiers.
Updates
Updates will be frequent, at least one per week both in the thread and rolled up in this post.
Group Buy Terms
This group buy will follow the Bill and Ted principle for human interaction: Be excellent to each other. If you conduct yourself poorly toward to the members of the group buy or myself, I’m not obligated to take your order or your money. Unsolicited payments or orders that I am forced to cancel due to poor conduct will be refunded minus the cost of fees.
This group buy is being run for the GeekHack community and not for profit. I’m going to be building test packages for common order sizes using LEDs and SIP sockets already available. I’ll use these to make shipping estimates along with the Shipping guidelines. Any surplus of funds will either be used to provide everyone with more LEDs or donated to GeekHack.
While this is my first group buy as an organizer it’s far from my first as a participant. I’ll perform to my utmost to deliver a sweet experience for all involved. If you have feedback for me, I welcome it here in this thread or via PM.
