Bob, I bought 10 online with shipping for about $20 Cnd. One was bad or I fried it on my variable DC power supply. The rest were fine. Compared to the other options, I find these are a great deal with very little to go wrong. The Runtz ones have more components and require a dedicated ground. Basically more things to go bad.
Alex, the time spent on making the stamping die was substantially longer than pressing the one successful piece. By that point it was simply more of the challenge to see if I could stamp out a part like this.
