yes I understand why owen is doing this, the amount of people wanting just bards is quite high and some want just the amp board etc a total PITA. i'm making a digikey order right now for my parts, should I hang on and cover the opamps? i'll start a wiki to see what the numbers are if everyone agrees thats a good idea?

[qusp]

just for the opamps, that is, its too much work for the amount of time I have on my hands to do full kits, where I can cover the chips and send them out fairly easily and postage will be cheap as can be sent as a letter

[TheShaman]

Sure thing qusp!

[qusp]

cool, OK i'll wait for a couple others to chime in, but I think its a good idea, better pricing available than DK too

Hi,

Count me in for 2 boards and 2 kits.

Regards,
Samuel

there arent any kits offered only boards, if you read the last couple of pages. I may help out with ordering the opamps and doing a GB there, but you will need to sort out the rest of the BOM yourself

I was thinking of offering the same thing last night, it might make more sense for me to do it, being located in North America, to keep the postage costs down. (thinking of having them delivered to a UPS drop just across the border in the US, so I wouldn't have to pay the CDN taxes on everything, and then doing a quick mailout from there)

I understood that maybe there wouldn't be kits available if the total amount (25) was not reached. That's 2 more right there, which means still 3 to go, which may be feasible.
But maybe I understood wrong (I'm french).
Anyway, if anyone would offer kits, I would be more than interested!

Digikey's single part price is $11.56.

I might be interested in 4 LME49600 if you could be so kind and the price worked out right.

Digikey have taken about $1 off the price according to when I looked yesterday evening.

I'm in the UK. If the total price of four is more than £18 (about $26) there is 20% VAT and £10 (about $15.50) import duty for me to pay. This would make the price for four near enough to the UK price to not be worth the effort. Or indeed over the UK price. Do you to declare a price on the envelope? If so could you declare it at just under the threshold?

Currently the single price of these in the UK is about £11.40 or about $17.80.

Thanks,

Ian
