[OpenTRV-interest] getting hands on some valves

[Charli Wilson]

Lurker but I don't think I've spoken up before....

1) How would people like to pay?  Bank transfer /  Credit/debit card /
cheques?
Bank Transfer is probably the easiest for me, but any of those are possible.

  2) Are people happy to pre-order for delivery the other side of Christmas?
Yes, assuming delivery next year was 'somewhat imminent' (ie: before next
Christmas)

  3) Are people happy to (say) get kit at a discount where one feature is
not functioning, eg radio TX, or boost button, etc?  We have a great
variety of battle-tested stuff and not everyone needs every bit working,
and frankly otherwise I may feel compelled to hoard!
So long as I know what isn't working and can choose, then yes.
