Sure. I just didn't assume because some kits are priced around volume
orders of PCB+parts and it screws with the inventory to sell bare
boards. I'm usually happiest to buy bare board kits or board+weird
parts.

If you do bare boards (no connectors), I'd probably be interested in
several sets.
I offer parts kits as a convenience not as a requirement. The big costs
are just getting the number of boards up. Of course when I start producing products that are SMD
with pre-programmed
parts (ie MEM11A), those will be fully assembled and tested just because I
don?t want to handle the support issues and component choice variations as
well as I?ll have the boards assembled before they get to me.
Sure. I've been on the support end of selling through-hole kits, but
I wouldn't want to have to support SMD kits. I have bought and
assembled many kits with SMD parts and have enjoyed success, but not
everyone's builds go smoothly (and even I've had to occasionally fix
my own screwups).
And I'm still interested in at least one MEM11A when it gets to that.
I have this 11/20 that needs some stuffing.
