[Gauging Interest] Buttons/Switches Kit

Post by Bobrobert » Mon Sep 26, 2016 2:56 pm

So as many of you know if you buy parts off eBay, you can only buy them in larger quantities. Also shipping takes a while. I have some extra parts that I haven't used that I was looking to make a kit and sell it for those who may have not yet bought their parts.

Each kit would include:
- 2x L/R pushbuttons
- 1x Stereo Headphone jack
- 1x Stereo volume wheel
- 1x microSD card slot (push/pull type)
- 1x power switch
- ~30cm 2mm double sided tape (for taping screen bezel)
- anything else I can think of

and would cost around $6 USD

good luck with that. especially at that price.

so far your parts are roughly worth a buck, maybe two.

Lots of these parts you can only easily find in bags of 10 or 20 pieces, so I bet there would be interest in this. I've had lots of people ask for something like this but I just don't have the time. :)

I know I would have rather have paid $6 for all that stuff, as opposed to about $8 per order of 10-100 for each item, when all I needed was one or two. Sure the price per piece when ordering in bulk like that is really really low. But when you only need one, it's pretty expensive.

Yeah, $6 is only an estimate. I will determine a solid price if there is enough interest. I know I would personally pay $6 to have everything shipped in around a week instead of searching and waiting for 1-2 months for the parts to arrive from China.

Hey mate!

I'm interested in one of your kits. It comes really handy to me in terms of times and quantities. Count me in. Cheers!

greets,
i am interested in the volume wheel, tape and the on/off switch...
Could trade the items in for a 1mm acrylic screen (without borders tho) since i have access to a laser cutter

I would be interested in a small bag like this. This would be preferable than driving to radioshack, only to find they don't have the right part, only to end up ordering it on ebay from a chinese vendor. Then waiting 3weeks to 3 months for it to arrive.
