You either have to have huge balls or just don't care to have many sales.

No... you only have to find those - nuts - people who buy it....
And believe me, there are a lot around....

I've heard from a local repair guy that the build quality on those are very poor.

I'm not going to put something down just for being expensive, but if you're going to charge $500 for a fuzz box, you could at least make it look like a serious piece of gear and not a hobbyist's weekend garage project.

The Germanium Boy sounds good:

I wonder what it is.

In another thread it was mentioned that it was probably a NPN Rangemaster with the input cap size selectable on a 12 way rotary switch.

No doubt you have a point!

Many would even say it should look like 'a serious piece of gear' regardless the price. But for $500 a pedal, anything should look and sound like prefection itself.

I have a fuzzy boy I bought used. It sounds super nice - built quality is not very good , but the pedals sounds amazing. I am currently looking for a "stoner boy" and "black sheep" schematic - the only stuff I could find was regarding the stoner boy - a eyelet board with some circuitry drawn on it:

also here is a official gutshot (from their facebook site) from the "showtime" pedal:

Looks like the electronics fairly bent over and spackled inside that box.

Wow , surprised that it even works or will continue to, but sort of looks like early japanese
transistor radio qulaity from the 60's

"Jaunty" doesn't do it justice.
