This product became one of my personal favourite products before I even got it!

I'd like to suggest that the company starts making USB cables that are used with it (Male USB2 <-----> Male USB2 mini).

If that cable did come to life in MikroElektronika, then I'd like to suggest that it gets placed in the (You might also need) products of the pages of the products which need it (PIC Clicker board - Start USB For PIC board - MikroMedia boards (Although it comes with these) - ...).

Just an idea

Hello,

thanks for your suggestion MaGik. I will pass your idea to colleagues so they can consider adding an extra cable.

There is a cheap cable that can be purchased separately that works with these boards:

Thanks a lot for your reply Milos
I never knew there is such a cable from MikroElektronika! It's a must have for me!

I guess the same suggestion applies here because some people (Like me ) might not know about this cable.
I think this cable should be placed in the (You might also need) products of the PIC Clicker board, Start USB For PIC board, and any other boards that need such cable.

Could you please pass the posts in this link to your colleagues as well?

Thanks Milos. I really appreciate it

One more irrelevant question: Can the Distributors sell kits?

The thing is that I live in a country that isn't supported by any of your payment methods.
The only way to get your products is by purchasing them from my local distributor.
The PIC kits you offer are really amazing, but as I said, I can't buy them directly by myself

I really need the third kit provided in the link below: (TFT developer kit 3-PIC)
http://www.mikroe.com/categories/view/9 ... -kits-pic/

So, can I ask my local distributor to bring me a kit with his next shipment?
Or are they allowed to distribute only individual products? (No special offers and no kits)

Best Regards

Hello MaGik,

you can ask your distributor for kit. If he asks us, we will send him desired kit, but it will probably cost you more compared to the prize on our site because distributors don't get extra discount on the kit. (They already have discounted prizes) If you have PayPal or Bank Transfer available, you can order these products directly.

Thanks a lot Milos for your answer. It's much appreciated

If you have PayPal or Bank Transfer available, you can order these products directly.

None of these are available in my country

I'm afraid I didn't quite understand your reply.
A) Are you saying that my distributor will have to pay the company the full discounted price of the kit (Which is 380$ in this case)?

B) Or are you saying that my distributor will have to pay the company a special price (that is dedicated to the distributors) of the kit (Which is between 380$ and 460$ in this case)?

Which one is it please?

Best Regards

[milos.vicentijevic]

Hello MaGik,

every distributor has agreement with our company about prize of each item. Every distributor has its own prize and own policy about discounts.
On the other hand our company sells items too but over the internet and has its own policy about discounts.
So conclusion is that distributor can't get discount on already discounted prizes he has.

I hope I explained this well.

Best Regards,
Milos Vicentijevic

Thanks a lot Milos for your further explanation. It's really appreciated
I apologize for asking for such sensitive information in the first place.

I think you mean ( B ) is the correct answer here.
Unfortunately for me, it means that the kit will cost me a lot more than 380$ and probably even more than 460$
I'll think again about getting that kit.

Thanks again Milos
Best Regards
