MattTheGeek 99 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Been browsing ebay again and i came across a nice deal. A half size breadboard for $2.98 with shipping. Might be a good alternative to pololu if your just ordering the breadboard since shipping there is $4.95. (Luckily i can do will call orders from pololu :twisted: ) Not sure if i'll try this deal since of above reason. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SugarAddict 227 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 and once again... the reason I don't use ebay... per item shipping charges. 10 = $45.44... lame. Subtotal: US $9.90 Shipping & handling: US $35.54 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

xpg 127 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 and once again... the reason I don't use ebay... per item shipping charges. 10 = $45.44... lame. Subtotal: US $9.90 Shipping & handling: US $35.54 Ahh yeah, that's just typical. However, I find many of those ebay deals quite nice for buying components for prototyping.

pfactorial 7 Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Really? How would it be harder to use? wires don't stick in or something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cde 334 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Really? How would it be harder to use? wires don't stick in or something? Exactly. The elasticity of the contacts in the breadboard is missing, so once the pins get pushed in and bend the contacts, that's it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I agree with the whole 'quality' points made here, but at $3.00? They're pretty-much disposable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
