Today I got the price quotes straight from the manufacturer.

16GB USB drives are $16/piece. I will post more info when I have some sample pictures. I think that's a pretty good price with an order of only 25 pieces.

(credit card shaped USB drives 0.30btc/piece in the other thread and people pre-ordering, wtf. I can get those too and the price is also about $16/piece.)

Received my two 8GB keys today, they look great! Smiley Sturdy construction as well, thanks MXRider!

That's an excellent price for the 16GB size; regarding the style, I personally consider the key shape to be superior. Credit card style USB drives are simply too cumbersome for what they are. There is more space to write a message on them and they're handy to keep in a wallet but the key style is the same width as the credit cards would be, just with a smaller overall size and the handy option of being able to stick them on a keyring.

As far as the message on them goes, perhaps instead of "You asked for change, we gave you coins" or "BTC future money", something along the lines of "BTCitcoin: The future of money!" would be good? I think that would hammer home the idea that Bitcoin - or a future embodiment of it - IS the future of money, and the fiat in our pockets has a very limited lifespan ahead of it.

Have you managed to price up 32GB versions? Would be very interested in those, and I look forward to seeing the sample pictures of the 16GB!

I want one... Can I get one shipped to Florida? How much would that cost?

You can. I've actually shipped two to Florida already. These are so small that shipping is very cheap.

Really like the key shape and I agree with dropping the quotation, I would be very interested in 2 x 16Gb when you get them.

Everything paid before 9am (UTC+3) has been shipped. Still have some left Wink

Judging by the other thread people are OK with pre-ordering so what do you guys think about that? I could upload two or three sketches next week and potential buyers could vote which is the best and what capacity it should be (16GB or 32GB).

16GB models are around 17€/piece and 32GB models 27€/piece. If you are outside EU that would be $17 and $27. I might get even better prices if I have over 40 pre-orders. Let me know what you think! I like this key shape a lot but it can a credit card or just a basic USB drive with a 'B' engraved on it. I was thinking about dropping the quotation from the other side.

16GB sticks are coming nicely (I changed the design a bit). I just found out that someone else is doing a similar project and even ordering from the same place Cheesy I need to get these off my hands ASAP so I lowered the price A LOT.

8€/piece and shipping is included.

Warranty has been adjusted to 6 months. This is only a nice idea. I'm not planning to sell these forever.

Many people have been asking for a 16GB version instead of 8GB. I don't have them yet but I'm already tweaking the design so I should have them in two weeks. I might post two sample pictures and potential buyers can comment which one they prefer.

I'll have my BTC at the ready.  Smiley Seeing samples would be great!

Your warranty should be clear that it's limited to replacement with a new stick, and that storing one's wallets elsewhere is absolutely essential, not just recommended.

Offering a 5 year warranty is overly generous to begin with, and taken seriously, actually detracts from your cred rather than adds to it.  Even 90 days or 1 year is more than plenty.  By offering a 5 year warranty you are creating a written obligation for yourself that, if someone decides to take seriously and 4.5 years from now can't get you to make good on, can rightfully label you as untrustworthy (look at Matthew N Wright, labeled "Untrustworthy" due to promises he undertook without proper foresight).  If you're an individual and it is plausible that you might not be in the business of USB sticks in four years (you probably won't be), a 5 year warranty sounds like overpromising, arouses suspicion, erodes trust.  Unless you are in a position where you are clearly able to make good on it (e.g. you're a huge corporation nobody doubts will disappear in 5 years), you are actually far better off not offering it.

Unfortunately not, yet Wink It's clearly a better option so give me two weeks.
