I got a quote on shipping... $166!  
For a total of $528.40.  
Divide that by 9 that's $58.71.

So, the price is getting up there...  :-\

This bank transfer fee you speak of... what's that all about?  Couldn't the person making the purchase use a debit/credit card?

So anyway, it does appear that paige is going to be right on this one.  By the time everything is accounted for the most you'll save is maybe $15?  Is that really worth all the trouble?  I'm not quite sure it is.

I'm not giving up quite yet, so if anyone is still interested in this, there's no reason not to keep this post going.

I have attached the conversation as of now that I have had with Lee from coinopexpress, and as long as I get no objection will continue to do so for your viewing pleasure  :P


[edit]Whoops, just realized that theres 1 red button not 1 white as I noted in my e-mail to Lee.  Oh well, I don't think it will really matter.[/edit]

Bank transfer fee. Most HK and other Asian businesses do not take credit cards. Just about everything over there is done via bank or wire transfer. I seem to recall the salesman from coinopexpress mentioning it to me when I was looking for a Uo Poko kit.

My bank charged me $40 to transfer to their HK branch bank.  That was before I realized I could have transfered to their US branch for something like $15.  They do also accept Paypal, but at a 4.15% handling fee.

Industen:

You guys realize that those buttons do not include microswitches?

Min Order 1000 @ .46 each

Just warning you before you pull the trigger.

hooded_paladin:

You can mix colors?  Perfect.  I was thinking you'd have to make 40 controllers minimum...
But, I won't be able to buy these.  I have almost no money, a tiny tiny income, and a PS2 that won't read DVD's that I'll have to repair or replace.  Other than that, I think Pop'N is the next game I want to get into, but... not for a while.
