SuperSprite FM+ Sales Imminent
Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2021 12:18 pm
Today I have been working on the product page for when the sales go live. I have decided to offer the product with options, allowing those that can build, or that already have a V9958 to reduce the cost somewhat. If people can buy boards without the V9958, it allows me to potentially supply more end users (I only have 18 V9958s at the moment).
I will be offering the board in three formats:
Shipping is to be added in all cases. For overseas buyers, import fees and sales tax will be your responsibility. I will be looking to use eBid soon (waiting for them to enable their systems) to allow EU customers to pay their VAT via the IOSS system. Ebay is just too expensive to sell that way - it costs me 19% of the sale price to sell to Finland for example.
Once I have completed the first board from this batch, I will announce a time when I will switch on sales on the website. The switch-on time will likely be around 8pm at night (date to be confirmed), British Summer Time (UTC +1), which I think will suit most regions who would have an interest in this device (UK, North America, Australia and New Zealand).
Sorry if this seems somewhat formal, but I need to make sure I can handle things properly, as there seems to be considerable interest from the CoCo users too.

- Fully Built - £125.
Kit version - bare board - £85.
Kit version - SMD components soldered - £90.

- If you do not require a V9958, you can buy the board without - that will save you £10.
If you want to upgrade to 192KB VRAM - that will add £5 to the cost.
