Ahh! This is great! It'll be so much easier to find the right stuff now. Thanks a lot
p.s.: Bear in mind that, by having an "official" store, you're losing some competition that might keep you "honest", for want of a better word (it's early; sorry!). People will buy there for convenience and certainty, and it may well be the only place to buy some things, so some degree of self-regulation of profit margins etc. will be necessary. RepRap is refreshingly altruistic so far, from what I've seen of it, compared to some other fabber/printer projects. I hope to still be able to point free software people to it, after it's gained a lot of popularity, and say that it's still doing the right thing

Oh, I just saw the blog entry saying that this is under a new non-profit. Even better!

Hi Zack First off... thanks for doing this; it's going to make things a LOT easier for me, not having to make PCBs and stuff.
Are there many other components to be added to the store? I guess there are lots of other resisters and stuff, but... there seems to be a lot of special joints and stuff that are used for the frame. I guess they're coming to the store sooner or later too -- or is there some other way we need to get those?

I've just seen an ebay auction for pcbs...
seems to be very affordable (chinese production, retailer around my corner)
the price is 60 Euros... per squaremeter (single sided, hal, solder resist included) or 110 Euros double sided (if i calculated right thats less than 90cent per controlercard and about 50 cent per powercom!)
see ebay auction# 290118797925 for reference.
If you like me to ask (because of the retailer around my corner) I'll go
and get the informations.
cheers
