[TriEmbed] Internet of Things

[Jon Wolfe]

I have worked out a price schedule estimate for the LinkIt-ONE from Seeed.

One thing to note is that it officially becomes available tomorrow, so  
I don't yet know supply availability. Also, Oct 1-7 is a Chinese  
national holiday, so Seeed will be closed over that period.

One thing to note is that my quotes factor in estimated customs fees.  
I was slightly on the conservative side when it comes to estimating  
the rates. If the turn out to be significantly lower, I will refund  
the difference. I have to get at least 8 units to get a break on  
secured insured tracked shipping, so that's one reason for the big  
drop there. These prices are for local pickup in Cary. If you would  
like me to ship to you, add $8 for up to 5 units, and $12 for up to 20.



Total Quantity |  Total pretax Cost   |  Price per unit. | Price with  
sales tax
      4            $367.06                $91.77            $97.96
      8            $654.12                $81.77            $87.28
     50            $3829.50               $76.59            $81.76
    100            $7038.00               $70.38            $75.13


These are the price break points. If you are planning to create  
something for sale with these, you can get yourself a sales tax  
certification, and get it without tax, (i.e. the burden to ensure  
sales taxes are paid is on you).

For other quantities, you can just multiply the by the unit prices of  
the next lowest prices break.


Thanks,

Jon
