In June of 2017 they were $56.95 shipped 4.5 years ago.
Parts prices have gone up some as well as shipping costs. I know that I can probably fit them in a small flat rate Priority Mail box which is around $10 to ship in today's world.
I'm still sourcing the components and trying to find the best deal to keep the costs down, which will keep the unit cost lower. Some places want you to buy 500 - 1400 pieces at a time, which adds up quick.
The wiper delay board itself is $16.50 each shipped as I bought 2 of them a couple weeks ago.
Buying all the components and then the labor to build them is still feasible vs paying $576+ for the high dollar version I've seen on the Internet from a couple companies that want you to replace your wiper motor and install a whole bunch of other parts, which is definitely way more involved than the units I'll be mostly replicating from the wiper delay boxes that Bill (twouvakind) made.
I will be as fair as possible on the unit cost, and once I have all the pieces priced out per delay box, it will be easier to figure out the unit cost.
