I'd like to get a board too: if someone's doing a run, let me know.

Quoted from ThatOneDude:OK, so I posted this because of all of the PMs I was getting recently. I would be happy to help someone with getting an order done, but I don't think I have time to do it myself right now.
I just had a run of PIN2DMD boards done, and can get a quote for APC boards. Can you give me an idea of the number of people that showed interest?
Quoted from ThatOneDude:Looks good. Do they have a replacement for the 74hct273?
Thanks. IRF7316 was the only one reported to have availability problem.
That's a problem right now, parts availability varies day-to-day it seems. Now ULN2803A is no longer available.
I was told I need to order 2,000 and can have them in my inventory for future orders, LOL. Everyone in for $6,000?
Quoted from ThatOneDude:So, I have 4 other people wanting a board. That's all 5. For those interested, that's $25/board shipped to me, populated with the SMD parts.
I'm getting quotes with the SMD parts alone costing that much. Do people still want boards that are currently running about $50/ea?
It's not a good time for manufacturing these it seems.
Who knows when the situation improves though. Some quick checks and estimates, I think the cost of the board would be $165 - $175. If you're interested at this price, PM me and I'll see if there's enough interest to pursue it.
$50 (SM populated board)
$30 (Due)
$70 (through hole parts)
$15 (shipping to you)

$165

I ordered some APC boards and parts. Not all have been reserved yet, so if you want one, it's $120 + $15 shipping.
The board comes with the SMD parts installed, but you need to install the through-hole parts yourself, and you provide your own Arduino DUE.
For those that inquired about wanting a fully complete board, if I have any left over, I may complete and sell ready-to-go ones at a higher price.

The boards I ordered are currently in shipment: they've landed in the US, so shouldn't be long now. The DUE boards are scheduled to arrive this week. I have already received all the through hole parts.
I've had quite a few inquiries, so if you want one, I suggest contacting me to pay now. That's the only way to reserve one. That's also a "heads up" to the others that PM'd me that they're interested.

Looks like the DUE I ordered for my board doesn't have headers. Was wondering if it would be a problem just to solder it to the board. What inconveniences will that create?

Quoted from ThatOneDude:I might have a v2.4 and a v3 board for sale soon. It is coming in as a trade from someone who bought one of the previous boards from me. I think that the v2.4 build was started, then he bought the v3 board and then ran out of time. So, it should have all of the parts for the 2.4 build, which would include the parts needed for the v3. You could order the v3 through hole parts and build both. Or, I could sell them separate. Anyway, PM me if interested. I'm still waiting for the trade to finalize.
I have an extra set of the v3 through hole parts if someone doesn't want to go through the trouble of getting them all themselves, which I had to go to multiple vendors to do. I ended up with the extra set as one of the V3 boards I ordered had manufacturing defect.
Actually, PM'd you, I would take the V3 board then I can make a complete kit for someone with the through hole parts I have.
