Re: [DIYbio] The Open Discovery Institute(ODIN) is Opening a DIYBio Store Soon!

Of course I will ship to residential addresses that is the whole point!

Yep, all current prices are for real. The prices will fluctuate though based on the supplier prices. Also, at the moment I am more trying to get stuff out there instead of make a shit ton of money. Still working a day job as I can't imagine the demand is very very high at the moment for all these things. But who knows?

Nathan, I will look into the 10bp ladder for ya'.

I agree with Patrik. $50 is overkill for a gel box without the platinum wire. The plastic should cost < $5 and maybe $5 to assemble and then the platinum wire should cost ~$10

Prices look good.  If you make shipping really easy and are willing to
ship to residential addresses you could probably charge a little more
for the convenience.  So many lab supply companies are set up to
service universities and make it difficult for the rest of us to order
from them.  Some companies will only ship with a required signature.
I'm not at my home 24/7 to sign for packages so that's a problem.  And
many refuse to ship to residential addresses, even if the order is
just a bottle of agarose.  Make it easy for us and we'll buy from you
even if the price is a little inflated.

Check out IORodeo.com   They have unassembled gel boxes for ~$50 but
they also give away the design files so you could have the parts laser
cut yourself.  If you dig around on their BitBucket site they have
some python code that will spit out design files for a gel box of
arbitrary dimensions.
