Simple.  Require 3 sections on any website selling the products:

Beginner:
The designer
Some special modules that attach

Intermediate:
PICbase
Buncha modules

Advanced
Modules like Ethernet and USB interfacing

Or something like that.  Point being that you don't display the cheap
PICbase on the beginner page.  And you put a warning on the page with
the 3 links that says that "no modules under advanced or intermediate
are self contained"

Or something like that.
