It's a bit disappointing to see them priced so highly. I don't think
I've seen one even listed in the UK. So if you are trying to sell them I
don't see why $100 or so wouldn't sell, at least eventually. I believe a
company in the UK gave me a price of around ?70 ex VAT. I didn't want to
that much so I ended up building my own out of 2x40 perfboard, two pin
1x20 headers and a bunch of 82ohm resistors.

Nicely done.
Clearly this is easy enough. The parts cost can't be more than a few
dollars; the priciest thing is likely to be the connector.
90% of the price/premium you'll see in the vintage market is for 'knowing
which parts to bodge together'. The parts themselves are rarely rare enough
to command the price.
