    I seem to recall 5 for $1...· So, that would be 25 per display...· And, you still would have to pay the $5 shipping...

    But, I'll make you a deal...· I'll go 10 per display, if you pay the $5 shipping...

    Wow, I've got something like 7 orders already and I'm not even sure how to accept payment yet...
    Here's what I'm going to try:
    - You send me an email with what you want.
    - I'll send you an invoice with your info and instructions on how to pay with Paypal or credit card.
    - Once I see the payment, I'll ship your package.

    Wow, I really should be charging more! I already have requests for 50 of the 100 units I have on hand!
    I'm a little overwhelmed right now...

    Good news is that I think my shipping scheme is going to work, at least for domestic, still need to see how it goes with international shipping...

    Now that I'm selling some displays for real, I suppose it's time to post some code...

    Here's the source code for the "Paint!" demo that lets you draw on the screen in a few colors
    using a stylus (see screenshot in top post):

    It's probably not all that polished, but will give you something to get started with...

    Completed my order. $5 is a great price and I can see lots of places to put them at that price. $15 however limits places I can put it but still good price.

    I'm almost sold out of my box of 100...

    I sure hope people realize that these are bare displays with just the FPC cable... You'll need some kind of board to make them work!

    I'm working on a breakout board, but it's still a couple weeks away from mass production...

    Go for it! I'd much rather have someone else making, populating, and selling those things...
    I'd really like to concentrate on PSB...
    But, I felt sorry for all those poor LCDs being destroyed...

    then don't let them. At $5 I am sure you can sell thousands. I know early next year I am going to be looking for hundred or so cheap touch screens and I am sure more will also.

    Since you are offering to sell the screens so cheap I am offering to design the breakout pcb for cost. If there are enough orders I can get them populated cheap also. I am not offering to sell these individually myself I have bigger products to work on.

    This is my first time selling things directly...
    So far, I've only managed to get one package ready to ship [noparse]:([/noparse]
    Hopefully, I get to everyone in the next couple days...

    I still need to pay you... Is it OK if I pay you when the breakout board comes out? That way you can get it all in one shipping, and I know I will need a breakout board. I just wanted to reserve my screens before they are all gone! smile.gif

    This sounds like a cool deal to get into.

    Rayman....are you considering to get more of the displays?

    I could do a surface mount design (maybe mctrivia is considering us for assembly)......and get some breakout boards in the works.

    MC, let me know if we were in on the consideration.

    Sounds great guys.

    I have heard that there are many, many more available. But, I haven't heard yet when I'll get another shipment...
    I'm sitting on 50 of the "like new" variety, reserving them for my PSB board. But, it seems like people are more
    interested in the lower cost of a "used" display...
