Doug,
What is the average going rate per part or per pin for assembly down ther=
e???
I am in upstate NY and it is almost impossible to find anyone for small p=
roduction/prototyping.
And if I do, I pay $0.10 to $0.20 per part. And that is for thru hole. SM=
D is more.
Found individual who is not using his smd equipment too much but he wants=
 twice as much.

I got spoiled doing assembly in Thailand (not as cheap as China) but whil=
e assembly
was less than $0.05/part, the shipping to (unless I purchased 1,000 pcs o=
r more I had to supply)
and back was costing me about $120/25kg box. Each way.

So I am always looking for individuals, that I can trust. But maybe I am =
too cheap.

Ray
