I'm sure a hobbyist could find the parts for cheaper, especially things like individuals connectors that I found for around $5. I've seen them go as low as $0.25 when bulk purchased.<p>Disclaimer: it's possible that some SKUs led me to the wrong products. I am not into electronics. I encourage you do to the same exercise before drawing conclusions.
