___________________________________________________

How this works:

I have been coordinating a batch style group order to the various
component distributors.
I will be accepting parts lists to go into a group order to Digikey,
Mouser and Newark today to be ordered on monday. A list of parts currently on order will be posted to this wiki page. I (eric) will update the page with what is in the order and what is in the "bulk discount" category.

Why would you want to do this? Two reasons:
1. Saves money (should eliminate handling fees on small orders, shipping
cost is spread across all people in the order, possible volume discount)
2. Saves resources (less packing used, less fuel used)

How this works (this is new and subject to change):

On the Monday of the week before a meeting I will aggregate and place
orders. I will send out via email the order totals plus their share of the
shipping. People can either bring cash to the meeting or pay pal their
share to me (adding 2.9% + $0.30 for the fee that paypal charges me). The
orders should arrive that week and I will break out components into
individual orders. On the day of the meeting I will bring the orders for
distribution.
If you are the only person that orders that week I will contact you to see
if you want me to wait until the next order cycle to put in with others,
or forget it altogether .

How to place an order:

Orders can be placed by sending me an email (
drtwist@aracnet.com ) with the following information: quantity, vendor,
exact distributor part number, part description.

Looking like this:

Qty 1 , Digikey, ATMEGA168-20AU-ND, Atmel ATMega 168 MCU

The order goes out on on the monday at 5pm the week before a meeting and every 2 weeks there after.
If you
have questions please drop me a line. If you have placed an order and are
not going to make it the meeting let me know. The money to place these
orders comes out of my pocket so if you aren't sure you.re going to pay me
please don't order them, I will be unlikely to order for you in the future
if you do.

Have fun
