It looks very reasonable on video

At $40 it would be worth buying for the fun of it  :D

OK here is what I discovered. The only model worth getting is the model 7C+. That logs in at about $80 USD.
However there is free shipping from India.

The entry level one logs in at about $63 USD.

There is no $40 unit available to the public.

I might have gone for it if it had been $40 and free shipping. But probably for the best.

 :o  $80.00 is a good price. I guess $40 is for countries in big quantities and only for the entry level model.

Not for me, but it is always nice to see this kind of thing.
The more, the better.  It can help keep the price down on the general market. (I hope) ::)

Yes it is for government purchases for schools.

Refuse to buy over the internet.  If I cannot physically examine the product, I don't want it.  Got fooled on some stuff via a big name on-line seller and had to junk all of the product because it took to long for the order to get to me.  That and the parts were useless.
