OpenBCI Cyton cable version is sold for 230 USD on Aliexpress. Should not all products cost the same which have the ADS1299 EEG chip from Texas Instruments? So why is PiEEG with 8 channels not sold on Aliexpress for 230 USD?
Ildar Rakhmatulin made us a a decoy offer for PiEEG with 8 channels for 350 USD:
But unfortunatly it was only a limited offer which is not available anymore. To be precisely, it was pulled from the market before it has been released:

Will PiEEG cost 1 000 USD, if it ever comes back? 1 000 USD as the following devices which contain the ADS1299 EEG chip from Texas Instruments as well. The following devices are sold in the US for these prices:
- The OpenBCI Cyton costs 1000 USD
- Unicorn Black costs 1000 USD
- The Neurocity Crown costs 1000 USDBut we Swiss won’t buy PiEEG with 8 channels for 1000 USD. So we invite the sellers on Aliexpress and eBay to offer PiEEG with 8 channels as well. These sellers offer us OpenBCI Cyton for 230 USD. And we are ready to pay 230 USD for PiEEG with 8 channels on Aliexpress as well.
Should not all products cost the same which have the ADS1299 EEG chip from Texas Instruments? Therefore we suggest the sellers on Aliexpress to sell the following products for the following prices:
- The OpenBCI Cyton cable for 230 USD
- PiEEG with 8 channels for 230 USD
- Unicorn Black for 230 USD
- Neurocity Crown for 230 USD
If these products are sold on Aliexpress for these prices, all products which have the ADS1299 EEG chip from Texas Instruments would cost the same, and would be interesting for Swiss costumers as we are. But PiEEG for 1 000 USD is too expensive for us personally.
