New source for the card reader!!

Post by bucko » Wed Nov 05, 2008 10:40 am



Anybody needing a cardreader for the cheapest price around.
I just located a new source for the Encore software usb cardreader. The company is out of Hong Kong. Minami Electric Ltd. http://www.minamiele.com It is listed as a DT-3500
They sell it for $39 and shipping air mail is $13. They accept Paypal as well.
I just placed my order. They say 10-13 days delivery.

It appears to be about the same price as http://www.securetech-corp.com/mako_dt.html, sells them for in the U.S. when you consider the shipping. Jim

twofactors in HongKong doesn't sell them anymore??? I bought mine from twofactors a little over a year ago for $24 plus about $8 shipping and was told it would take 10 days to 2 weeks for it to arrive. It arrived on exactly the 10th day.

Yup. Apparently Two Factors is out of business. Darned shame, too.

The website does work. I did have to reload the page a few time before it came up. They must have a slow server. I'm looking at the page now.

Now the link goes to ATM parts, I guess if we built our own ATM, we could afford to by the full price reader. Jim

It's there. Don't click "English" on the home page. Scroll down to "E Shop" and it's there for $36.US.
