Several vendors have extended educational and distributor discounts to us. When possible, pool together a group buy via the discuss mailing list / slack

Electronics

Adafruit – max volume discount at any volume; requests purchases be bundled so they’re greater than $250, but will accept less

Sparkfun – flat 20% discount applied at checkout; $50 minimum purchase

Seeedstudio – average ~30% discount on most items (discount goes up if buying over 50pcs of an item)

Art Supplies

Kit Kraft – flat 20% discount, no minimum purchase. Contact Jordan (@dustmason on Slack) for the discount code.

Wood

MacBeath Hardwood – volume discount at all volumes for lumber and sheet goods with higher volume discount applied for teachers and Stewards (Berkeley store).

Leather

Tandy Leather – Gold Member Pricing, roughly a 20% discount.  When asked if you’ve shopped there before, say it’s under Ace Monster Toys unless you remember the phone number from the 501(c)(3) letter
