Wanted Group buy interest for Reddish 500 EQ?

[dmp]

So the estimated cost is $148+shipping?

using 1 Euro = $1.06
UTM 28+28+39+29 Euros w/ 15% discount
Metal work 35 Euros

 

[nielsk]

That is correct. I am hoping the UTM quantity discount will be a bit more as we have over 50 units (for everything except the outputs, as we may not make 25 quantity on those so there may be no quantity discount)
As soon as I receive confirmation of everyone's order I will get final pricing

1st post updated, waiting on one more reply then ready to proceed

 

[nielsk]

Still waiting on one confirmation, but I will go ahead and start the order process with UTM & Link based on current totals.

 

[nielsk]

1st post updated with final pricing from UTM, looks great!
Waiting on final price from Link...

Janczmok, This is for US buyers, mainly to defray the high shipping costs

understood. But there is no one for europe yet ? Just asking...

Chiming in here...

The items that are included here are the parts that originate from Europe -- the UTM transformers and inductors, and metalwork from Kevin at Link Audio Design. Since you are in Europe already, it would be counterproductive for you to order these pieces through Nielsk's group buy, since everything purchased through this will be shipped to the US, so you'd have to pay for him to ship it back to the EU, negating any cost benefit and also creating a longer delay until you receive them.

Instead, you can order the appropriate transformers and inductors directly from UTM when I publish the BOM (coming soon). For metalwork, you can either order from Frank's web shop, or you can order nicely discounted metalwork from Kevin when he reaches out about European shipping (see my PM to you from Saturday). As a side note, I did receive your payment for pcbs, thank you!

We've got lots of European builders participating in the project itself, but this particular group buy that Nielsk is arranging only makes sense for US builders to join, for the reasons stated above. If you wanted to start your own group buy to try to get a quantity discount on the UTM iron for builders within the EU, I imagine you'd have some enthusiastic compatriots, but it's up to you if the effort is worth the discount.

POWER COATED AND OUTPUTS PCBS ORDERED. WAITING FOR A BOM.

 

[nielsk]

Just waiting on final number from Link...

 

[nielsk]

Got the numbers in, updated first post.
I will begin sending out payment information

 

[JMan]

Hey Niels, great to see this coming together! Are the prices quoted from UTM in $USD or €EUR? Either way, awesome that you've been able to secure a nice discount and save our US builders on shipping costs!

 

[nielsk]

All prices are in Euros, at today's rate with conversion fees it should be around $1.10 to the Euro.
Of course, rates fluctuate, but whatever it is when the funds are all in and get sent to UTM & Link it does deliver a substantial savings (at the very least 20% overall) from ordering individually.

 

[BigPauly]

Is this ordering still available?

 

[nielsk]

Just invoicing now, BigPauly.
Please let me know how many sets you want and if you want outputs and I will add you to the list!

 

[BigPauly]

Yes, add me to the list. I need the outputs also. Enough for the two boards I ordered. Thank you!

 

[nielsk]

Payment are arriving, thanks to everybody!
As soon as everyone has been able to pay I will place the orders and transfer the funds to UTM and Link
