Considering they cost about 50 euro (65usd) in the US from the manufacturer's website, WITHOUT import duties, VAT and postage, what would make you think someone would sell you a dIMU at a loss for that price, unless it were second hand?
You can buy it here: [LINK] for 68 euro, which is a very reasonable price.

I can imagine that after building a project, you no longer need the sensors and then sell them again.
But maybe im wrong,
The 68 euro is not the problem ,but 25 euro for sending, that is.

Ah yes, 25 euro for shipping is fairly high, I have to agree. Maybe combine it with a few other purchases at the same place, for future projects, that sort of thing I'll ask the guys at Generation Robots why the shipping is so high for single items.

If you're located in the NL, shipping will be about 13 euro if you pick DHL eco. This is what my contact at Generation Robots said:

Hey Xander I've just checked. The shipping for the dIMU us 13.03 with DHL Eco Select. The problem is that freight operators have a flat fee for 1kg whatever the weight is.

Does that answer your Q?

I recently returned a defective sensor to Generation Robotics (Germany to France).
DHL parcel would have been about 13 EUR,
but "Deutsche Post Maxibrief Einwurfeinschreiben" (sort of "Oversized-Letter-Registered-Mail" ,incl. insurance and tracking) was only about 6,50 EUR.
French Post should also provide that option.
