Title: Last Express Coop of 2011
Post by: RJ on August 31, 2011,
http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=111.0

Please Read Completely before you post in this coop!

This is a coop for the Lynx Express Controller. This will be the last coop for it this year. The coop will have a hard limit of 200 units and will close once this is reached or on the 9th of Sept at 8:00 pm E.S.T. if not.

To assist in insuring everyone gets the chance to at least get some units, we will limit the number per user to 6 units for the first 48 hours. After which I will post that we will accept higher counts. At that time you will be able to increase your order if you wish to, beyond 6 units until the 200 unit limit is reached.

Remember purchasing kits for the purpose to put them up for sale is not allowed. Anyone found to be doing this will be banned from all coops in the future.

You will receive all the parts you need for the complete kit. To complete your setup you will need power cords for the AC hookup and a DMX dongle to use along with the Vixen or LightShowPro software programs. At the time of this writing I can only suggest the use of the Lynx USB DMX adapter or the Enttec Pro. There are other adapters that can be used but due to issues that have been found with them I cannot recommend them.

Now for the pricing.

We have a base goal of 50 kits. This goal allows the cost per unit to drop low enough to make it cost effective to run the coop. below this number we will not make the order.


Pricing is below broken into the 50 unit levels. The pricing below will include all fees, shipping and handling charges to get the items to the Coop Manager.

*****50 Kit Level*****

Lynx Express Complete Kit /w heatsink (No Case) $68

This is an estimate and the previous coops have all beat this in the past. The larger the amount the better the pricing most times.

Shipping will be based on the USPS flat rate box. This is the box that will ship in the US for $10.95 a box and international for $45.50, Canada and Mexico $27.95. This is the shipping cost per flat rate box we can fit about 6 kits in a single flat rate box but can go to a larger flat rate box for larger orders for a few dollars more up to twelve. If you wish to have insurance on your package it is your responsiblity to choose the amount and lookup the cost to add. You must add this to your paypal payment and in the comments explain you paid for insurance and how much coverage. We can not be held responsable for you packaged once accepted at the post office and we have a receipt of shipment if it is not insured.

Post with the quanitity you wish in this thread. Please do not post questions or your thoughts in the coop thread. Start a new thread in the correct area for these. Coop threads are strickly for people requesting orders. If you later wish to change your quanity please post again clearly stating that this is a update to a previous order and how many you wish it to be now .

If you have any questions please post a new thread to help keep the coop thread clean.

Thanks for all the help in completeing the coop.

RJ,

Sorry for the PM. I should've read the "new members read this first" post to learn I needed to post something before this board opened up!

I'm a complete newbie at this. I have a friend helping me with my setup but I need to place my first order to hopfully get something running for Halloween.

I'm looking for 2 lynx express, 1 ethernet dongle. I would consider wireless as well if there were any left.

Is there anything else you would recommend for someone starting small (32 channels) and completely new at this?
