How much does the Bugbrand one go for?

I've been playing around with the bitcrusher audio plug-in in Logic and it's decent, but I still really want a hardware stomp-box pedal enclosure!

He isn't making any at the moment, although his site mentions checking back in 2009. the site also says check the archive to view his old designs, but the bugcrushers aren't listed there. Mine was the micro, and I think I bought it for $100-150. Can't remember it's been a while. He had some seriously knobby ones but I never could find one. Here is a page with a pic of some:

The new DBA Robot looks amazing! $320 is better spent on a Geiger Counter but they're 25% off on fullscaleonline.com so that's like $240. Definitely worth it if you can get together the cash, check out the sound samples:

If I had money to burn I would definitely buy one but I don't. I need to get a second job just to fund my pedal addiction!! :facepalm:
