The fine folks at Obsolescence Guaranteed have arranged to have a small number of PiDP kits available for sale at the VCF Midwest show in September.
Mike Katz is taking pre-orders so that anyone who definitely wants one or more will be able to get them.
There will be a $100/kit deposit on any pre-orders.
By pre-ordering and picking up at the show you will save on shipping charges and possibly the $20 processing fee.
Any item for sale at Obsolescence Guaranteed will be available for pre-order.
Please note that all pre-orders must be in and the deposit paid before August 15th so that Mike will have them here in time for the show.
Here are the kits or pre-assembled products that are available for pre-order. The Retail price does not include shipping or tariffs. The VCF Pickup price avoids most of these costs.
Sales tax in Schaumburg is 10%. There will be a 3% surcharge if paying by credit card. PayPal incurs a 3.49% surcharge plus a $0.49 transaction fee.
You can reserve a kit or assembled product by email here.
