content: Alright here is a kid who knows nothing and would like some one to design a mp3 music ,blue tooth receiver for him. i don't have any money considering i live in the middle of no where and cannot do odd jobs for money so i thought i would ask a great community like this to help me out. the receiver it self needs to be small about a maximum of 2cm big in a round shape and with a width of 1cm at MAX (it doesn't have to be round its just more desirable to sell that way) and the battery has to be a lithium so it can be recharged the audio output has to be a 3.5 audio jack. i just need a design from some one they don't need to make one or anything that extreme so thank you guys .i am an idiot so far and have been bashing my head in the wall trying to buy bulk in led from china to make flashers to sell but hey thanks guys.

content: Deal Extreme has them for 7 bucks. You're going to pay a designer, production house, etc. a few tens of thousands. Which comes out cheaper?Building a handful of anything is never going to be cheaper than mass production, if the products are of similar design and quality. Certainly not if you're going to be paying other people to work on it.

content: If I would just buy the product from somewhere it would be illegel to sell it for more. I could pay for all the parts my self and mabey for them to asbleme it for me but it all depends where I buy from. I just don't know how to design myself but I guess I am in over my head I have other eltronric work for now i ll guess I'll pop up about this later when I can do a littel more. ThanksTypeing on phone sorryLol free_electron I guess I alreadg have their sick of hearing about eltronics

content: I guess the other option you have is to not try rip your friends off?Consider the following:Assume you can get the boards down to 2 square inches. at a dollar an inch under a prototype service, thats $2 a board.you will need a screen, there is $2 MINIMUMbuttons: $0.50 total.MCU and memory: $1.50battery holder: $1.50misc components (resistors and caps as needed.) $0.50we are now currently at $8 and that is for a one off. These are just ball-park figures, and I am sure you could do cheaper, however that would involve a lot of bulk purchases. Add to that you still don't have a case. You have jsut hit double digit costs.Do what everyone else is saying, just buy some off dx and sell them on, and don't rip your friends off. tell them where you are getting them and just do a bulk order to cover the costs evenly.As far as Taxes go, the Government doesn't really care about the $2 you owe them if they ever found out. In my country you have to be clearing over $40 000 before they start chasing you down.
