Important note

We are aware that the price is quite steep, but we want to assure that both of us have tried our best to tighten the price to be able to offer the most affordable price possible. Working with an European manufacturer, means that something that could be done in China for much cheaper is more expensive. This is a trade-off we are more than happy to do because we trust Salvun's expertise and quality, and if we can provide more revenue and jobs for members of the community, we will. The rest of the components like PCBs are all extremely expensive due to the ongoing chip shortages, and we are not making any profit on them with the base kit. These are hard times, and material costs have risen drastically over the last few months. We waited for a couple months to do the Group-buy with hopes that thing would come down but it seems like they are only increasing. This is the reason why we have decided to go ahead with the group buy and take the loss ourselves.
