Ok, I lied (a little) but not really. It looks like if you
combine "The Special of the Day" with the 20% off deal,
you could purchase 5 Propeller demoboards and get them
for about $32.00. [noparse]:)[/noparse]

(Of could you might want to throw in a Propeller Sticker
to make sure that you are over the $200.00 mark.)

Anyone up for some demoboards? [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    Wow... that's a good deal! I think my laziness will make me buy it so I never have to round up the parts to put any of those circuits together, and it gives me some status LEDs on board for debugging. Too bad it doesn't have any regular (solder) prototyping area rather than all solderless. I can't think of the last time I've actually wanted to use solderless :/ . I'm lucky if the stuff I'm interfacing has pins that'd go in a breadboard, and who knows where I'll find breadboard wires (I guess that's where they get me... I'll have to buy some of them with it [noparse];)[/noparse] ).

    Too bad they probably wouldn't ship in time or it'd be a great deal for someone to buy 5 for $32 each and take them to UPEW to trade/sell :P.

    They have done it again. Every time I order a couple hundred dollars in parts from parallax they offer 20% off a day or 2 later. I must have bad timing.

    They always have the best deals early in the week, usually Thursday and Friday are the less interesting deals (often a PDB or other Basic stamp deal on Friday/weekend). They usually announce some sort of discount on Thursdays effective for the weekend (free shipping, BS2 sale, starter kit sale, % off). Of course, they changed things up this week...

    oh well. at least the props are already a good deal. I think I will have enough in stock after this to wait until the next really good deal then order several hundred props. May I sugest 50% off orders over $1000?

    Think of the solderless breadboard as an area where you plug in a "shield" in arduibo speak rolleyes.gif

    Since a thread has been created (I wanted to let you all know and was going to delete mine later). I am thinking 25 smt props plus something would be nice to make my $200.

    The daily deal is a fantastic idea for us all. Thanks Parallax smile.gif

    Unfortunately, the free shipping weekends don't work outside USA. Maybe parallax could offer us overseas buyers against some of the shipping?

    What'd be really cool is if they would set up a hold box where you could purchase stuff, but hold the shipping until your order is done (of course actually paid for, not just reserved in a shopping cart). Then you could get several daily deals without multiple shipping, and wait to ship until there's something else you really need (there's been a few deals that I would have bought, but I didn't want to ship by itself). There's also been a few small things that I'd like to buy, but end up buying them elsewhere because another supplier sells them along with something else I'm looking for... where if I had a bunch of stuff I wanted anyway, I'd buy them all here and have them shipped when I actually need it. I guess that'd be a pain for them to manage, but it'd definitely be good for us, and probably for them too [noparse]:)[/noparse] .

    I'm waiting for a daily deal on the Propeller Proto Boards.
    Half price on them would be sweet!
    Maybe tomorrow?

    Also waiting for the Professional Development Board to be on the daily deal.
