2nd Annual Cardas Bulk Purchase

[leadbelly]

Thanks Rodd. Sorry to hear you got spammed for your efforts. Oh wait, can this be considered spam? Oops

 

[BrianGT]

The prices are in. I will start sending them out this evening (between Survivor and ER). Some people will get three or more emails to go with the 3 or more request. To them I say, OK, OK, it's coming. Please don't send 3 orders unless you plan to pay for 3 orders worth of parts.

It's either watch CSI or send out pricelists. I need to move the TV into the computer room.

All of the price lists are out to those that have requested it.

Requests for the price list are still being accepted through at least Sunday.

Sorry about the price on the solder. I will ask Cardas why.

Please do not post these prices on the net.

 

[diamdiam]

Thanks Rodd for doing all this...
I too am curious about the solder. The price for them vary all over the place. From $38 at partsconnexion and soniccraft to $90 at welborne labs and a bunch of places selling some where in between.

 

[fcel]

Me too ... curious about the solder pricing.

 

[Peter Daniel]

I don't know how big rolls those are, but the one I bought 6 years ago, I'm still using. So if you don't do that much soldering, maybe it's a good idea to share the cost between few people and just split the roll. I think it makes sense

 

[Magura]

I dont know about the states, but in europe lead will be banned from 2006. I am looking to buy a life'a supply of solder in the nearest future, since i dont know if the solder quality will ever be as good without lead as with lead.

[diamdiam]

if the price of the solder is good, is any one willing to split a roll with me? i only have a handful of projects, for now. email me or something

A Couple Clarifications From Cardas

Here are a couple of clarifications on some of the Cardas parts.

WRT the price of the 1-lb roll of solder.
The solder is one of the few item from Cardas where there is a significant quantity discount. DIYCable will not be able to take advantage of that discount with our quantities. Added to that was a recent price increase on the solder which made the matter worse. This is why there is such a wide range of prices for the Cardas solder on the WWW. My suggestion is to shop around to get the best combination of sale price and shipping.

WRT the Cardas binding posts accepting banana plugs.
Here is the reply from Brian Von Bork of Cardas:

The only Cardas binding posts that don't accept bananas are the CPBP (Patented Posts) and the euro versions... so basically all of the normal looking posts take bananas.
