Sadly price does matter for example if it is worth recapping it and save it instead of throw it out, i wouldn't spend my time recapping a vibra card if i just could buy one cheap vs time instead ;) It's sad when people don't have time for their hobby but I understand. I'm the other way around, love …

And all of those links have shipping cost that lingers around 30usd+, and once they arrive here I'll have to pay 20...30usd in import taxes, so it makes them completely uneconomical, to a point it is much cheaper for me to make my own. I imagine shipping won't be much different for other EU …
