Re: Official MOTM LEDs etc.

Stocking these sort of parts and offering them to MOTM users is 
something I've been considering.  A small part of one of my 
businesses consists of some custom electronics work and we do 
currently stock some parts which are used in the MOTM.  Although I'm 
quite swampped at the moment, I'll try and determine whether we 
could do this and how much we would have to charge to make the 
service worthwhile.  
I really don't want to make up complete kits necessarily, I don't 
want to buy and resell stooge brackets and panels for instance.  But 
I don't believe we'd have a problem purchasing 100 LEDs or a larger 
quantity of certain parts.  There are some parts that we currently 
buy 5000 at a time.
We could possibly offer kits for doing the Blacet to MOTM 
conversions, Oakley to MOTM or CGS to MOTM as well if there was 
enough interest, with those kits not including such things as 
circuit boards, brackets or panels.  In other words you would still 
have to order those items from Oakley or Ken Stone for instance.  
I'll try to set up a spread sheet with some of the most popular 
projects and look at quantity pricing to determine if it's 
worthwhile.
Possibly one of the stooges could email me off list. If either of 
you guys could give me a list of the most popular panels so I could 
get an idea of the popularity of different projects it would help me 
decide whether to pursue this or not.
My business ships internationally, and will be set up to accept 
credit cards around the first of the year, and as I said we could 
certainly buy enough of a given item to get quantity breaks, 
providing it looks like the interest is there and we could 
eventually resell the parts.
