Hello!
  This might be my last post to these lists on this subject, so any
questions, please contact me off-list.  If there are any newcomers asking
questions, please send them to me off-list at diywb at ciciora.com.
  For anyone who has not heard, I put together a group buy for the
components that go on the diy-wb o2 printed circuit board.  I do not sell
the PCB, nor have access to any more than just my two.  I hope to contact
everyone on my list individually by Monday.  If you have not heard from me
by then, please email me.
  The cost for each kit is $11.50 plus shipping.  This includes all the
board mounted components, plus (8) 4-40 screws, (8) #4 lock washers, and
(4) spacers.  It also includes (5) extra 15 ohm  watt resistors.  If your
O2 sensor doesn't heat up fast enough, these can be added one at a time to
R4.
  My best estimate for first class shipping in the US is as follows:
(1 kit) = $1.30
(2 kits) = $1.53
(3 kits) = $1.99
(4 kits) = $2.22
(5 kits) = $2.68
(6 kits) = $2.91
(7 kits) = 3.37
(above 8 kits) = 3.50 (Has to go priority mail)

For orders outside the US, please give me some time to figure this out.

I had offered to provide a video tape showing how to construct one of
these boards.  Assembling kits was a lot harder than expected, so I can't
work on that for probably 2 weeks.  At this point, if you would like one,
send an extra $7.00, and I'll refund you any difference.  It will be
shipped separately.  If you watch this tape, and still don't think you can
solder your board yourself, I'll do it for free.  And if you try, and goof
it up, I'll help you fix it.  I would really like people to not be afraid
to try, and I hope this might provide a 'safety net'.

For US members, I can take personal checks, made out to Steven Ciciora.
They can be mailed to:

Steven Ciciora

Or I can take http://www.paypal.com.  My PayPal ID is steve at ciciora.com,
and my last name is ciciora. They will charge me $0.30 per transaction,
plus 3 %.  Please include an extra 30 cents and three percent to cover
that cost.  I'm not sure what to do (yet) for people outside the US.  I'll
check to see what the guys selling the PCBs did.  I'm sure I can do
something similar.

Currently, I've got over 40 hours into this, and it will probably be 60 by
the time I'm done.  Please forgive me if I have not been in good
communication.  I expect by the end of tonight I'll have all 400 kits
done, except for the resistors, and the parts that Digikey goofed up.
I'll start shipping as soon as I get $, and will ship in order of payment
received.

I bought extra parts, because in some cases, buying enough parts for 500
kits was cheaper than buying parts for 395 kits.  At $11.50, it's cheaper
for you then if I would have bought exactly 395 kits worth of parts, but I
end up short a few hundred dollars and with a bunch of parts left over.
If I end up selling all the parts (If I order the expensive components I
can make up to 500 kits) I'll end up with some $ left over, and as I
mentioned before, I'll donate that to one of the many September 11th
causes.  I won't make any profit off of this.  Don't worry about me being
short some cash; I think they will sell over the next year, and I'm more
worried about people thinking that I'm profiting in any sort of way.

In summary: $11.50 per kit, plus shipping plus paypal charges if you
choose that route.  Otherwise, mail a check to:

Steven Ciciora
1620 S. Vilas Ct.
Superior, CO 80027

I'll have extra kits available for anyone who wants them!
