30 pin simm price increase

Because these take a long time to build and test, I am looking to get these outsourced and built and assembled for me. Even though I have the paste printer now, it still takes a long time to paste the boards individually and set up the printer etc. Even just 10 sets of simms is 40 PCBs , 80 DRAM + caps to solder. Overall I just do not have the time to build everything myself.

The side-effect for this is the price may well increase a little bit on the next batch as I will have to be paying shipping and taxes this time around :( But at least the good news is they will not be out of stock for weeks or months at a time in the future. A small good point is I purchased the DRAM a couple years ago so at least the price of the chips will be lower than if I purchased them more recently.
