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.

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.
