Greetings, The intent of this thread is to gauge interest in the purchase of a Reamixx500 board.
The Reamixx500 board is the work of @SukkoPera. The details of his work on this project can be seen here at his github project page.

Moderators: I will gladly adjust this post to meet any and all rules that I may have overlooked. Please let me know if any adjustments are needed and I will promptly make corrections.
I am very new here, and do not have the requisite 200 posts to organize a group buy. I'm not trying to organize a group buy. Even if I met the requirements to coordinate a group buy, I think I would still prefer to do this the way I'm outlining here. I want to gauge interest in the purchase of a Reamixx500 board so that when I place an order for boards, I can appropriately size the order based on known interest.
Expressing interest here does not commit you to a future purchase. My initial order might not cover all interest. I do not want dozens of boards for myself and I realize people change their minds, that's OK. I only want one or two boards. But I'm frustrated with the tremendous markup on eBay. So, I thought I'd "give this a shot" and do my best to share the cost savings with the community.
I'm currently planning on ordering boards with a black solder mask and ENIG finish. If you would like a different color solder mask, you may include that in your response, but costs may be different (based on the size of a purchase), or I may not order boards in your preferred color. The single board cost on an order of 5 boards is approximately double the cost when compared to an order of 20 boards.
I'm anticipating a board being priced under $30 (USD) + shipping. Shipping overseas will be significantly higher than within the US. I don't intend on excluding anyone. The shipping overseas for a single board may be more than the cost of the board and it may be better for another user to organize a group buy in EU.
My responsibility: I will pay for ALL of the boards initially. Then I will list the majority of the boards for sale here on AmiBay. (within the intents and wishes of @SukkoPera)
I will track interest - I've already started a spreadsheet. I have one user interested in two boards to repair his son's damaged plus. He and I like the boards with black solder mask and ENIG finish. (I just received interest from a second user interested in 2-4 boards) I will post updates here regarding when I place the order for boards, when the boards ship to me, etc. Part of any profits here will go to a charity of SukkoPera's choosing and I will coordinate that appropriately.
Your responsibility: Well, there's no cost right now, and virtually no commitment. Post your interest here. Include solder mask color, quantity, shipping location (if different than that listed in your info). Then, when I list the boards for sale, declare your interest in the sale thread following the usual sales rules. If you change your mind, I cannot make you buy a board, and I'm not going to make a fuss about it.
Deadlines: Hmmm...I may need to adjust this as, or if, necessary. I'm not collecting any money from anyone right now, so, I'm not certain that a 'deadline' makes sense. Also, I'm not prepared to place an order for boards yet. (I won't go into all the details) The initial purchase cost of the boards is going to be completely on me. And I'll have all the "extras" that don't sell. I'll list the boards for sale in a proper sales thread after I receive them. An interested user has an event in April? and indicated that a couple boards may be used for door prizes, depending on cost. So, in their interest of getting boards into their hands in time for 2024 CLASS (Commodore Los Angeles Super Show 2024? 13-14 April)...
Please post your interest by 1 March 2024 and we'll go from there.
Cheers!

I'm not a maker, or seller. I've never sold anything on eBay. I'd say I'm an Amiga enthusiast, tinkerer, hobbyist, collector, procrastinator? 
(productive procrastinator).
If anyone has ANY tips on planning/organizing/estimating shipping, please post here or send me a PM. I signed up with pirateship but haven't explored much yet.
