Yikes! I thought that was the asking price at first, not the winning bid! Words fail me.

There´s a sucker born every minute - and too many of them end up in the bootweak pedal biz.

Consider that...

A) 10% goes to charity
B) Free shipping
C) a circuit board would cost someone $10
D) gathering parts takes time...if you can find them (let's hear about your source for NOS Phillips BC caps, Mullard TF caps, NOS BC108s, etc)
E) a FF built with these parts would sell for $150 - $200 in Boutique-Land

Dont try and lecture me that this is too expensive. Thats Bullshit, and you know it. Hell, I even put a "best offer" tag on it. But hey... $10 for the circuit board, $7 for shipping, $6 to charity, $5 in Ebay fees, $10-$15 parts cost, add some to pay for shipping the parts to me and for assembly, as well as making the diagram to hook it up.... yeah...what a rip off.
