It was stated it would be 299 CNY which is about $43. This first shipment comes with tools, the later ones will not. I think $79 is their target price. Honestly, it's engineered really well and the plastic is a perfect fit and super durable, it's not 3d printed but clearly from a nice mold. I think it's worth the 99 I paid, I think $79 no tools would be just fine. It's unique so there's a cost with that .. nothing like it on the market for p3
