I just bought one. It was delivered in a couple days. A friend of mine with no electronics experience got curious and took apart the package and put the components in the board just by reading the simple instructions.
It took me about 2 hours to solder everything in. Another two hours to cut/solder/trim and mount cable harness assemblies for my motors; so that I could "plug" them in (like you would plug in a mouse, or a joystick).
If someone is offering $30 to solder the board for you; thats a fair price - given their experience in soldering, and the time of labor. It requires a moderaly steady hand.
Someone could probably make a business out of assembling the boards, making enclosures w/ a power-supply if they were looking for some real easy work, I'm sure.
