Kurt please post the final prices in the thread for future reference for those who were not in this coop. I still have not built all the ones from last year so I am not in this coop.

I am very much against doing this, since our final numbers were much higher than the 50 that were initially quoted. Stated another way, we got a very good discount on the EX/RXs because we will be ordering so many of them (3 X expected) and this will in turn incur savings more than expected. The next COOP for wireless may have less than this or more than this.

Kurt

Kit 1 @ $34.16 each
Kit 2 @ $38.34 each
Kit 3 @ $19.20 each
Kit 4 @ $22.96 each
Kit 5 @ $5.46 each

Thanks Kurt
Your caveat on not expecting the same prices is correct. I have paid more and less than these in previous coops. But it serves to give people some idea of what could happen in a coop. It also helps me when I decided to quit using some piece of equipment and need to figure out what I paid for it when I got it. Maybe I just need to improve my record keeping - LOL. And I have been trying to do that better this last year.

Glad I could help out. Just want to make sure we set expectations. The last thing I want is flame PMs about cost! LOL.

Payment sent, sorry for the delay.

OkieJay,

Not really a delay so nothing to really worry about. I don't worry about payment until it is about a week old. We have done pretty well with only 10 or so payments left for a COOP that closed less than a week ago. I did get your payment, thanks.

Update 005 -- 02/29/2012

Major Activity:
- Receiving Payments. Only 2 to go! (I have heard from one of the 2 outstanding, if you are the other, please contact me if you still want to be part of the COOP)

Awaiting:
- All members to Pay!
- Receipt of PCBs
- Receipt of enclosures (3/18)
- Order and pay for rest of parts from Mouser
- Receipt of parts from Mouser
- Sorting
- Shipping

Notes
I have a verbal for payment on one of the two outstanding payments. The other has not responded yet. If I do not hear from the other person by Friday, I will be releasing their order to the waiting list. ALL orders are accounted for (so no need for additional people to request additional orders for the folks who have or may backout of the COOP.)

This will all be settled by Friday 3/2/2001 @ 7pm EST.

If you are on the waiting list, I will PM you guys whether we are able to fulfill your request and any payments you will need to make -- in other words, you are in or you are out of this COOP. These will go out this weekend (most likely).

So far the long pole is the enclosure order -- which has been made -- and is due to me by 3/16. I do not see any major back orders for Mouser, however, I have yet to make that order, because I am waiting for the final payments and waiting list folks to work out by this weekend.

I will also have the final numbers for the cost of everything which I know pretty well already, however, some adjustments may be made in your favor. If refunds are due, these will come after everything is ordered, and ready to ship. Also, some refunds may come as I compress some of the orders into smaller boxes (the small flat rate box) that I thought would only fit into Medium flat rate boxes. Again, I will know better when the orders are sorted and prepared for shipping. Then and only then, will I be ready to apply any refunds to the COOP group.

If at any time you need to contact me for any reason, please PM me. I will attempt to get back to you as soon as I am able!

Thanks,

Kurt

Update 006 -- 03/01/2012

Major Activity:
- Receiving Payments. Only 1 to go! (I have a verbal on payment, just haven't seen it come in yet)

Awaiting:
- Last member to Pay
- Receipt of PCBs
- Receipt of enclosures (3/18)
- Order and pay for rest of parts from Mouser
- Receipt of parts from Mouser
- Sorting
- Shipping
- Refunds

Notes:
I am looking to order the parts from Mouser this Monday so if you are a last payer, we really need you to pay up!

All PMs went out about folks who were asking for anything left over (back-outs). You should have heard from me (most did not get want they wanted due to the fact there were no additional Kit #4 available!) If you were lucky enough to get an order from the back-out we had, please pay promptly (aka this weekend!)

If at any time you need to contact me for any reason, please PM me. I will attempt to get back to you as soon as I am able!

Thanks,

Kurt

Update 007 -- 03/03/2012

Major Activity:
- All payments from original members received
- One of two payments received from the two add-ons that made up the slack from the dropped member
- Ordered the final part count from Mouser.

Awaiting:
- Last add-on member to Pay
- Receipt of PCBs
- Receipt of enclosures (3/18)
- Receipt of parts from Mouser
- Sorting
- Shipping
- Refunds

Notes:
COOP is on track and things are going smoothly (Okay--now I jinxed it!) As you can see the 'long-pole' is the enclosure order. Looks like 3/18 is the delivery date. I am due to go on travel on the last week of March, so I hope that I can get everything sorted and shipped before I am out that week. Of course, that is assuming all continues to go smoothly

If at any time you need to contact me for any reason, please PM me. I will attempt to get back to you as soon as I am able!

Thanks,

Kurt
