COMPLETED - Arduino Development Boards

I received ONE of these cases - somehow I got it into my head that they were in sets of three. That makes them three times as expensive as I thought. Oh well, $6 isn't all that bad; so another case is on order right now.

Well, I received the other case, so both kits are now done, and their components are loaded into the boxes:

The components are:

• 4 Each of M-M, M-F and F-F jumper wires
• 2 Each of red, yellow and green LEDS
• 6 360 ohm resistors for LEDs
• 1 Breadboard speaker
• 3 Each pushbutton switches

The components fit nicely.

Still not too bad vs other stuff out there.

Yeah, I'm guessing that they're worth about $50-$75 each. I think that I'll put that price tag on them, but still give them away.

Wonder what would be before the whole everything went up crap??

According to Bankrate.com:

Consumers pay more close attention to cumulative inflation, and prices are 24.3% more expensive today than they were before the coronavirus pandemic recession began in February 2020.

I was guessing about 20%-25%, so I was pretty close.
So, my prices today should have been about $40-$60 prior to the government trying to destroy the country using CoVid as the excuse.

It's BS that prices went up, I thought Trump was going to take care of this, so far, I'm not seeing anything...  Really went up when Stupid/Worthlessette got in office.

Keep in mind that most of what you can get on Amazon and everything from AliExpress is from overseas, so subject to the illegal tariffs, which I think are like 50% currently.

I know, sadly... I don't agree with those....

Why? When China (and many other countries) have up to %500 tariffs on our stuff, plus government support to people selling to us. These tariffs are just trying to level out the playing field.

That makes sense, I just wish crap would drop in price..

Average tariff amount from China on us is ~32%, but the problem I have is two-fold; the tariffs are causing chaos in the markets and also, we the people, pay the tariffs on U.S. goods. I think taxes are too high already, so paying more is not acceptable. Besides, I know what's going to happen after the tariffs are shut down...the prices aren't going to go down. Corporations will leave the prices at where we're used to paying and pocket the extra profits.

See my previous post for why I don't think the prices will go back to where they were before the tariff war. But I think we're all familiar with Adafruit, right? When this tariff war started, look how much Adafruit had to pay to get their order in when this first started. Some smaller companies went under from it all, as they couldn't afford the tariffs to get their product in.

High tariffs become 'real' with our first $36K bill

It's all good. You don't need to respond. I was just stating how things are and giving an example. I haven't purchased much online since this whole thing started.

Sounds like, all of them need to go everyplace, but not going to happen...
