I'm coming to the conclusion that I would actually be doing society
a service by starting goofygadgets.com  Take the money off those
who cannot be responsible with it and give it to, well, me ;-) I'll put
it to good use

That's quite true. Any retailer who actually wants to sell anything
can't judge their customers' needs. If they've got the money, I'll sell
it to 'em (stopping short at illegal substances of course). Enough
with the cotton wool, these people are grown-ups

A few months ago I was asked to make some thing called a Little
Zapper (I think). An oscillator device based on shonky 1930s
"medical opinion", that claims to cure everything. Except gullibility

I priced it at around $50 (basically a not-very-sophisticated 555
circuit). My potential customer queried why so cheap and pointed
me to a site selling a "professional model", akin to a low-performance
TENs unit, for $3000 (my estimate to build - $150). And $1500
courses on how to use it and make money. Apparently very
popular with the alternative life-stylers
