I've never done a group buy, and I'm sure the information is already listed in this monumentally long thread, but I don't have the time to search. From what I have seen, it seems as though the price is not finalized, nor is the time period for completion. That said can anyone give me an estimate for
A: Cost for a 500 chip set B: When the chips will be available. Again, it seems like no one knows for sure, but I'm just looking for a rough estimate to know whether or not these badboys are even in my ballpark based on cost and availability. Thanks in advance for any help. |

Not sure where I got this impression, but I was thinking cost was somewhere between .80 and .90 per chip, timeframe probably 2-3 months.
Both of those are probably wrong though (optimistic) [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] |

i'd like both those predictions to be true.

Actually, I was assuming it'd be around $.90.
First off, how do we determine what is and isn't a ripoff? Paulson obvious has enough cachet that people are willing to pay extra. The question is, just how much does that cachet cost? |

The JB's from dice702 are .92 each in lots of 5000. That is retail. I'm guessing 100,000 will be quite a bit cheaper.

[/ QUOTE ] But remember, this is Paulson... There's not a lot of margin in Paulsons unless we bought over a million or two million. Bear in mind, I have not made any kind of deals yet. I will NOT post prices until I have a firm grip on what they'll be. But I can almost assure you they won't be .60. The range I am guessing (guessing!) is .80 to .90. They are retailing for $1.50 singles, $1.15 in sets. Ten |

So you think an order (the minimum size custom order they take) is justification enough for nearly 50% off the price of their newest product?
I don't see it.. but I'd love for you to be right. |
