thanks for looking!

yeah, thats the craziest thing of all...  where to put inventory.  well, i guess its because i've made a transition to a bulk focus than one-off stuff now, so i get what i deserve in that...

good luck in your endeavor!

its not really that its too much work, its just that i don't have enough space.  i'm pretty short on it as is, i can't even imagine where i'd come up with the room to keep peoples 'orders in waiting', as it were...

its possible i'll move over to a weight-based shipping system instead of the current flat rate method.  the rates are either the same as the actual flat rate USPS option (like priority), but where USPS doesn't offer flat rate i calculate this based on an average of shipping and create/invent a flat rate for the site's purposes.  which is awesome on some orders and not great on others, i totally get that (since its based on a quarterly average, its long-term all the same for me).  but a weight-based system will have the same complaints, especially from people who tend to order in large quantities internationally.  the pros/cons list of both those options (weight-based v. flat rate) is pretty equal.  at least to me, right now.

long story short.  probably not.  just too logistically demanding for me.

i'm sorry guys, i'm really trying to keep up hmm  you all buy too quickly. 

actually, i need a secretary that will work for a pittance wink

um.  3_clk i'm shooting to get it out next week.  easy_ps2 this week.  i know i keep saying that.  its the snowball effect.  but i think it will come this week.  busy time lately with taxes and all (mainly a garden that needs planting.  now.)

the next immediate colors are black and white, everything is getting restocked in those.  after that there are some special colors coming up, i just don't want to say just yet.  but b&w are next

edited title to say GBC, not GBA

PM'd about thread title, i've edited it for now.  this is true though...  commission implies you're offering to pay.  which you aren't, its just the wrong word to use there.  so i've edited it, if it messes up the purpose of your title let me know

this is a really great album

i was surprised to see the full tracklisting.  real impressive.  some favorites on there, for sure

so good!

i cannot wait for this compilation of which you speak, sounds lovely

perhaps we can get a group of 16 that would want to go in together on them?

haha, i was typing out this suggestion, and you beat me to it wink

yeah, group buying is great. 

i'd be in for two of them if you do this @ that cost.  plus the shipping naturally on those.

i'd skip the quick quote thing and contact them directly.  they should have the email listed in the contact section for sales/quotes. 

i don't personally like their online quote thing, and they always have a real person contact you after the online thing is submitted anyways with the final quote.  which is usually adjusted somehow.  its like an unneeded extra step,

so, contact them directly.  if you're really wanting just the one...  batchpcb may work ok (then you can get one without meeting the minimum order amount or whatever).  but, ask gold phoenix directly, they have an office in canada too so should be awake and working now so you should get a quote sort of soon....

the cheaper alternative to you just having one made, would be to orchestrate a group buy.  just find out what the minimum order quantity is (it depends on the size of the PCB most times), and find that many people to go in on the order with you.  then you get it for much much cheaper, as does everyone else.  all it takes is someone to head it up and arrange shipping the PCBs out to the rest of the order.  that would be the cheapest way overall.  unless you just etched your own board.

i've wondered for a while why this scene never got on the group buying bandwagon.  it'd make so much sense

batchpcb is often not the best deal, by a long shot.  pretty slow too.  they're just using gold phoenix, so you're probably better off getting in touch with them instead and skipping the whole batchpcb bit. 

they can also handle those file types, or will have the software to convert into whatever they need if not.  just contact them directly and avoid their uploader-quote monstrosity
