I would not touch a wire for 225$ the guy makes 50 Euro per device. Get it from him for this price by all means.
I was making them but stopped because of this. I have better thing to do then to make very little $$ making these
Ive turned to helping people make them themselves
I can understand where you're coming from in that regard.
I want it to be known I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase riggidy and the price was absolutely fair for the quality of work and the timely fashion in which it was delivered.
You're a stand up dude and do great work.
These devices, regardless of who makes them, require tedious work and time. The price of a WD is going to be a fair price considering time involved to make it and parts.
The bottom line is that they are worth what the demands for them dictates. Whatever someone is willing to pay is what they are going to sell for. I don't think any of the WD makers are trying to get rich here.
