KISS Eval board, ready to ship (taking orders)

My KISS board is a P2 evaluation board that is kept as simple as possible (KISS = keep it simple, stupid). It can be used for standard breadboards or to be mounted on to of a custom PCB to avoid soldering of fine pitch SMT parts. I think this is ideal for prototyping or low volume "embedded" products.
If you plan to use the P2 as "self contained" computer with HDMI display, SD card and so on there might be better solutions like Peters P2D2.
Feature list, schematics and genral discussion, refer to this thread.
To allow for different pin header options I sell the board together with the pin headers but only with the SMT parts and the power terminal soldered. So you have to solder the pin headers by yourself. There are many different possibilities:
1. put double row pin headers on the top side. This gives 8 sockets that are pin compatible with Parallax' P2 EVAL accessory boards.
2. put single row pin headers into the outer rows on the bottom and the inner row an the top side. This configuration fits into a standard breadboard (explanation here). Even pins can be used directly on the breadboard, odd pins can be connected with Dupont wires.
3. put female headers on the bottom side
4. mix of 1..3 or anything you like
How to order:
Special offer until xmas or until they're out of stock: €40 per board,
Publison has 7 boards in stock an can ship directly inside USA for €7 (shared cost).
Europe and rest of the world: sold out, no stock, production of new boards on request
To order please send me an email to "nicolas@benezan.de" with your complete postal address. I'll send you a Paypal link.

But there will be more to it than just tossing the parts in to the oven
Let's just wait for a MAW response.
I think the challenge would be good. Surely if I can replace the P2 on my EVAL board I can assemble a bare board.
Surely. (I do enjoy a challenge.)
All I know is I would not be able to beat his P&P robot in precision plus I get the benefit of a tested and working board and do not have to spend time and material to build the test rig. MAW is a PRO. That's why I took 2 boards at once.
And please note that it might be cheaper to order some PCBs from JLC because shipping is expensive for me. The gerber files are in the discussion thread, feel free to use them.
How many potential buyers for North America do we have? I'm set up to ship 20-30 boards from Ray and Peter right now. I have all the shipping supplies, label makers and stamp machine to ship to USA and Canada.

I've updated the status in post #4.
I'll ship 2 boards to Maciek. 6 are dispatched for Publison (USA) and 4 to Thailand.
cheap (by sea): 19.90€
express (airmail): USA 36,80€, Thailand 39,60€
The alternative option would be to wait longer or use cheaper but unpredictable overseas shipping.
Thank you!
