I was looking into the cost of doing 100mm x 100mm four layer boards for my function generator project (don't want to do four-layer, but I do want to know what that would cost me if I had to make the switch).
Price for ten:
- ITEAD: $99
- PCBCART: $273
- ProjectPCB: $308
- Advanced Circuits: $680

-
Elecrow: $49.90 
Advanced Circuits just doesn't seem to like such small quantities. That $68/unit goes down to $15/unit if I get 60 boards.
...which is still much more then Elecrow, who claim to do ten boards at $50 total. $5/board. I can't even get a quote from Advanced for a quantity that brings the price that low, they just say Call Us.
Am I missing something
here? Or is the quality really horrible or something?
I haven't been too impressed with the boards I've gotten from them (and shipping takes a decade if you don't pay for UPS; my general experience has been that Hong Kong Post is much faster than China Post), but they
were acceptable, and damn, if I could get four-layers from them for just a bit more than two-layers from ITEAD....
