Hmm this looks cool, but not for $385 - http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/9955/

However, it seems pretty much the same as this $85 beastie off eBay - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Portable-Microscope-USB-1-3MP-Video-Camera-Gemstone-Gem_W0QQitemZ180263025114QQihZ008QQcategoryZ7321QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Like, the plastic moldings even look exactly the same.

Of course the eBay seller probably won't send men into space to get it to you within an unbelievably short time frame ;).

It's true.. the most recent thinkgeek order I did was made last wednesday night, and arrived here yesterday lunchtime.

Haha - the plastic moldings are identical to a $5 IKEA lamp, seen here:
