Awesome that someone is doing this however I have to say the parts involved are only worth about $10 so $99 is a bit nuts. Someone should just post the plans and the parts list with instructions and anyone can build one of these safely in a couple hours.

Absolutely. Once the device has been tested to our satisfaction, a full schematic and parts list will be published for the solder junkies out there. Free of charge.

The $99 kit is a solderless, and no tools necessary setup.

I would assume (hope?) that you've tried it yourself? If/how did it work for you?

It's been fun. Had a small issue with reversing the electrodes during a pitch... kinda put me too sleep. Some people thought I was stoned.

But in general it has been really useful in learning coffee script and teaching my friend how to longboard.

he's selling crap worth $10 for $99 and people are willing to buy. so I guess it worked pretty good.

He's selling stuff worth $10 for $99, that other people were selling for hundreds or even > $1000. So I guess it worked pretty well for them too.

That's awesome. Looking forward to seeing the result.
