>>=A0Doug,
>>=A0What is the average going rate per part or per pin for assembly
>>=A0down there???
>>=A0I am in upstate NY and it is almost impossible to find anyone for
>>=A0small production/prototyping.
>>=A0And if I do, I pay $0.10 to $0.20 per part. And that is for thru
>>=A0hole. SMD is more.
>>=A0Found individual who is not using his smd equipment too much but
>>=A0he wants twice as much.

>>=A0I got spoiled doing assembly in Thailand (not as cheap as China)
>>=A0but while assembly
>>=A0was less than $0.05/part, the shipping to (unless I purchased
>>=A01,000 pcs or more I had to supply)
>>=A0and back was costing me about $120/25kg box. Each way.

>>=A0So I am always looking for individuals, that I can trust. But
>>=A0maybe I am too cheap.
