Liquidation! Unfortunately those units are hardware specific and so is most of the software that plugs in them. Hard'er to re-use. Doesn't make them bad, just a proprietary design type. Vendors are at a stage where they made so much money that cost is not an issue anymore - they desperately needs the latest hardware to be able to survive their game. If this unit wouldn't have sold at $15 it would simply have ended in the seller's bn anyway. So everybody is happy at the end!

Good business; the units that sells online today for $300~400 are roughly $25~30 in parts in the street markets of Shenzhen. Cool toys for sure.

So cool that I have to own one myself. Not using those parts though. DIY, scalable, part-time, so fun
