I've posted the board to eBay.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/142599524344

It will be packed well and shipped USPS priority mail. Only US

I'm investigating options for contract assembled REX boards right now.
I might hand-build a small run later to fund such a run, or I might
consider some kind of crowd-funding or pre-order. Not sure.
