'cept people are already getting gouged now that there's been broad reporting about the devices. It's one of those rough situations where a community grew up around a low cost piece of hardware, but where the price was kept low due to that hardware's usefulness being obscure instead of a true lack of demand. Now that people know, the price has absolutely skyrocketed and the community, which was set up around the idea of low-cost hardware access, is sadly having their hard work exploited to prop up the price gouging hardware scalpers online.

It's incredibly depressing.
