I've never been so excited to see an LED turn on. Haha got my breadboard and my rpi0 and I feel like I'm 14 years old again. Hehe
Thats all. Carry on..

Yep, this one. The whole purchase process was a bit weird and they made me paypal shipping after the fact. But it WAS shipped via UPS with 4 day delivery so I was really happy with it. Total thing cost me $16USD and $10USD for the shipping but seems like you can also haggle a bit. It's all done over this chat on AliBaba. As I said, it was weird to buy like this, but I think they are a distributor and deal mostly with wholesalers, so they are in the business to move as many units as they can and not screw anyone over. They aren't there to scam someone over one single unit.

Awesome!
Not sure how much you've looked into it, but Arduino is a fantastic platform for playing around with that type of thing (so the Teensy or any number of actual Arduino-brand or their clones). It's a slippery slope!

Haggle with them. Say you want a discount or else there are 100's of other places you can buy from. $25 is high, I think.
