First of all - it looks nice.

Second - $99 is great, but getting just one at that price is silly for
members of this group.    Very few of us run single axis machines!

I think to members of this group (and the CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO group) you should
offer batches of three (or four)  at  the 3*$99 (or 4*$99) price range (ie
enough for a complete machine).

Or at least let us identify ourselves as members and get a discount price
according to the number of our consolidated orders.

You would want to do this because of the good PR and our huge influence
on the industry :)
