My first tayda order was 2010. My most recent was last month. I've had zero problems.

About a tenth of the retail price, for me.

The board was $8 USD, enclosure was $6. Parts are peanuts except the switch and jacks. I already had the soldering iron and all the hookup wire etc which absorbs the costs.

Shipping the boards is $9 USD but considering the pedal is $429 here it's a relative bargain.

I was in rockshop last week and the last 3 pedals I built (sea machine, hummingbird, hoof) amounted to $1100 ish. It's very cost effective to build once you get into it and also a lot of fun.
Do the companies selling the kits pay anything in terms of someone else's intellectual property that they are selling?

Nope. They're doing nothing illegal or wrong. I doubt anyone pays ibanez for the 400,000 tubescreamer clones that exist, or that anyone pays ehx for the million big muff clones on the market.
