Glad to see this, Mark, and it makes sense. Al and I investigated quantity discounts on both the display and the Teensy/audio boards, but (as I recall), there was only a 3% discount on the display and not much more on the PJRC products. It simply wasn't worth the effort.

However, when our builder's group ordered the JackAl board, I ordered enough parts to get the 25-count discount on a number of the parts and that does make a difference. Also, it never hurts to ask any vendor, big or small, for a quantity discount. Vendors like Digikey, Mouser, Arrow, etc. usually show their discounts. Tayda Electronics does and we use them a lot because they have a distribution center in CO so common parts arrive fairly quickly. eBay vendors will also entertain discounts, just ask.

I wish you well in this effort!

As I look into ordering the miscellaneous parts for my JackAl board it becomes obvious quickly that ordering parts in some quantity makes sense. It would seem that ordering parts for 10 kits may make sense if I can get 9 others to buy into this idea.?

Specifically, I am only talking about the parts on the first page of the parts list. I might add some RG174 or RG316 as well. The other parts are probably more easily handled by each of us on our own depending on what we want.

I would like to package a complete set of parts to keep things simple even though I and most likely others have some parts on hand already. I'm not doing this as a business but simply to keep costs down.

Expected cost(including shipping(US only unless convinced otherwise) will be what it costs me- no profit(and thus no guarantees/returns/etc.) and hopefully minimal hassle.

If you want to join my buy, please contact me. If there is enough interest, I will order parts this weekend.?
?
Thanks,
