You are buying a product from the eBay sellers, not directly supporting them, you are just paying the person who is charging the least.
If someone is willing to pay 5x what they could pay there usually is a reason. i.e. why someone would buy an OpenPCR machine rather than a PCR machine off of eBay. If someone buys an OpenPCR machine they are either trying to support OpenPCR, having a need, like needing something shipped outside the US, or just not trusting eBay.
I am not arguing that there are not people from outside the US in DIYBio or on this list.
Cathal, I have no idea what Josh and Tito are about, this is true.

supporting their marketplace? openPCR will survive if it can compete,
the ebay links enable potential consumers to be informed of the
market, but c'mon the openPCR guys started this as a DIY project like
all the rest we talk about in this group.
