The Porsche dealer won't sell me a 911 for 500$ if I tell him the list
price is far over my budget. (Sorry for this comparison, the SDS7
owners do know that in fact mechanically the brain is a piece of crap)
Seriously, the market makes the price and you need a lot of luck and a
very very naive seller to get a full SDS7 kit between 50$ and 200$.
Even for the brain with 5 cards only the price is ok. $400+ sounds
more realistic to me. But: You might have luck if you're patient
enough. So: Good luck!
