RFQ (Request for Quote)

[rschwarz]

Hi, is anybody willing to manufacture the following parts for me.

I'm located in US/Oregon. Please provide me with a quote. I tried some of the online rapid Prototyping companies and they asked about 300-400$ per piece.
Since this is for a hobby project this is out of my price range.

Further Info:
- 4 pieces of each part required
- Tolerances in 10th of a mm range
- Material: standard Aluminum (no special hard aluminum required)

Thanks,
Robert

An RFQ for 3 1/2 hours. Whats the point.

Not preferred, but better for the machining industry than leaving them up for a few weeks. Some guys are getting 50-100 quotes on work. When the numbers get that high the law of averages suggest one guy\gal is going to make a math error and quote something way too cheap, which drives prices down. Some RFQ posters want the lowest price, others are in a hurry and will award the work to the first bidder who looks competent, with reasonable pricing. Maybe the RFQ poster here was behind on his project for whatever reason and needed it ASAP,
and someone gave him a good offer he couldn't refuse. The early bird caught the worm here, no reason to get upset.
