That sounds great (especially the Switchcraft jacks). I think you may want to add more money for your time and labor and any associated surprise costs. It might make sense to scale it. IE: $2.50 per $50 spent. That way, you'd make more on the larger orders, which obviously require more work. If the price breaks on the parts are decent, people will still save money.
Just food for thought.

I will consider taking it on, but only on the following terms.
We need to break 500 Piece count on the Switches and the jacks - otherwise the margins do not make sense.
If we are going to do the green 3PDTs, we are pretty much going with Mammoth. I would prefer just going with the Switchcraft jacks, but if there is enough interest, I could see going with Neutriks, too.
I will only head it up if we have enough interest to make the numbers we need, AND I can get a Mammoth rep to log in and post here and say they are going to deal with us.
I will compute PP fees and $2.50 for my time and labor for each order. We will probably need to get a break on shipping, because margins on the jacks and 3PDTs are smaller than they used to be.
I am not up to adding pots. That is HUGE, and I lost my @$$ on that the last two times because of ordering and shipping problems. Part of the reason the last Group Buys worked was because we saved on per part price on switches, jacks AND pots, but the pots are way labor intensive, and I do not have the time or space to handle them in a timely manner.
To be honest, I swore I would not do this again, but I am willing to take a look at it, partially because I want to see if it even pencils out anymore. The vendors have become competitive enough, I don't know if there is enough fat on the hog.
