Eprom programmer Group Buy CLOSED!!
 
1/26/04 This group buy is closed, we had 8 programmers and 8 Zifs bought, I don't know everyone's HMT names, because they didn't include them with the payment (tsk, tsk...) but the order is in, almost $900 to Batronix, they've gotta love us. Thanks to the participants, and sorry to the guys who misunderstood it. If you paid with an eCheck or wanted to send me payment via Mail, I returned the money, because the eChecks would not clear until later this week, and I can't afford to front the money for anyone, if I could I would, but I'm just a broke college kid too, that put almost all of his resources into this burner... PM me Questions

We're going in on the Eprom Programmer 4 from Batronix. It's the nice one with the case, adapter, cable, and software, essentially a very nice unit.

How it's gonna work:
The Deadline for this is Tomorrow, Sunday 1/25. Payments may be made to me via paypal or you can send me a MO, or Cash (your risk) or Cashier's Check, whatever. I'm gonna place the order first thing Monday morning (9:00-10:00 AM CST), and then when I get them, I'll divy up the order, and ship them out to you guys from my place. While this sounds stupid and more costly, it's not, since the products are coming from Germany, and shipping to individuals from there would end up being more costly.

Products:
Batronix Programmer 4
http://www.progshop.com/photos/eprom40_500.jpg

1...4 Pieces: US$ 109.95
5...19 Pieces: US$ 92.74 *GOAL*
20... Pieces: US$ 86.42


28 Pin ZIF socket for our ECUs

1...7 Pieces $9.51
8...47 Pieces $8.41 *GOAL*

So add up whatever quanity you want of each (using the goal quanity prices), and then send me paypal or whatever. If we go higher than the goal quanities, I'll ship a refund with your order.

Add $15 for shipping/handling from Batronix to me, and from me to you, plus add 3% to the whole order if paying paypal, to cover the fee. If shipping to you is less (probably will be), I'll ship a refund with your order. Basically, I can't risk fronting all the money before we know total costs which won't be until I ship them...

Example
1 burner, 1 socket.

$92.74
$8.41
= $101.15
= $15 s&h
= $116.15x 1.03 (paypal only)
= $119.63 or round up to $120 actual paypal fees are slightly higher, if you send me $120, I get 116.22, or $0.07 more that the estimated cost. Remember, I'll refund the money saved in shipping, and $120 is easy to do...

I'd estimate up to $5-6 bucks back, but when I did a test order from Batronix on 10 sets, shipping was about $100, or $10/person. I'll make a list to show progress during the week with order quanities at the top.

Not to scare people, you can call me @ 612-281-5527 and talk with me about it, if you're nervous. I'm in school and I work, so if I don't answer, I'll call back, don't fret. Or email (paypal too) @ fried_rich@hotmail.com.

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy (ZIFs, Chips)
 
they wont include the KIT version as one of the numbers in your GB will they? I want one of those. If I can help you out by buying it through you I will. Let me know

jung4g 01-21-2004 12:55 PM

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy (ZIFs, Chips)
 
The kit version won't count as one of the numbers, but if we got the number of kits to 5 or above... then I'll include it, otherwise, it wouldn't make a difference for the buy.

alwaystootall 01-21-2004 03:27 PM

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy (ZIFs, Chips)

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy (ZIFs, Chips)
 
Are they going to charge you 15 dolllars shipping per item? Damn they are makin a killing. Why can't they ship all of them for 20-25 dollars in one box.

jung4g 01-21-2004 05:30 PM

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy (ZIFs, Chips)
 
OK teener, The $15 covers shipping from Germany (as in Europe) to me and then from me to you. International shipping is expensive... and I estimated it (by doing a mock order) at about $10/person, based on a 10 piece order (just under $100 shipping). And then I have $5 to cover shipping and handling (padded envelopes) from me to you. If it works out to be a lot less (probably will), I'll send the difference with your order.

So NO they aren't making a killing, international shipping is just a bitch.

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy (ZIFs, Chips)
 
I went to the website to see how much 1 programmer and 1 zif socket would be including shipping and it was over $140 or something like that.

Y-49crx 01-21-2004 11:05 PM

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy (ZIFs, Chips)
 
I'm in...I sent you $120 shipped for 1 burner and 1 zif socket. (through paypal)

Sorry misunderstood.

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy (ZIFs, Chips)
 
How do you plan to program 32 pin PLCC chips in the 28 pin DIP socket of your EPROM programmer? PLCC to DIP converter sockets typically cost $100 to $150 each. If the ECU uses a DIP package, then the PLCC package part will not work for you anyway...

Try Atmel, I think they make 27C256 chips in a 28 pin DIP FLASH equivalent.

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy (ZIFs, Chips)
 
freerock is right.
But I did buy a 27SF256 28DIP EEPROM from Batronix when I ordered my burner there. Look for the right one, but I broke mine it was kinda weird to erase....

Y-49crx 01-22-2004 01:21 PM

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy (ZIFs, Chips)
 
I paid...will the 29c256 chips work with this burner?

Semnos 01-22-2004 06:44 PM

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy ZIFs too!
 
Yes it will.
That's why I got the 29C256

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy ZIFs too!
 
I'm pissed. >:( I already bought the Eprommer 3.3 and put it together and now it doesn't work. :'( I must suck at soldering or something. Anyway, put me down for one programmer. $115 via paypal headed your way.

bambooseven 01-24-2004 05:53 PM

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy ZIFs too!

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy ZIFs too!
 
I'm in for a burner, TWO zifs (yes, there's your complete GB) and I wish you were selling chips, because I'd take four.

I'm about to do the math. I think I owe you right around $130. Tell me if i'm wrong!

EDIT: Looks like I missed it :(

jung4g 01-26-2004 12:29 PM

Re:Eprom programmer Group Buy CLOSED!!
 
Sorry man, I would have loved to have you in on this, but the order is in. I think we have 3 guys already that missed this one if you want me to set up another one, I'd be willing to do that. All we need is 5 or more buyers for the programmer, and if we got 8 or more buyers for the ZIF socket, you'd get the discount there to. If someone wants to pick out the chips we need, I'd add those to the buy as well.

PM me if you want me to setup another group buy.
