Hello

I'm a beginner on this forum and in the world of 3d printing, so I might ask something that has already been asked but I need an advice.
I have been reading this forum and the reprapwiki for a while and try to collect the necessary parts for a 3d printer.

I have collected the followings:

RAMPS 1.4 controller 1x 15 USD [www.aliexpress.com]
MEGA 2560 +USB cable 1x 15,92USD [www.aliexpress.com]
SD Ramps 1x 4,3USD [www.aliexpress.com]
A 4988 driver 5x 21,84USD [www.aliexpress.com]
Mech. Endstops 6x 19,02USD [www.aliexpress.com]
MK2B Heatbed 1x 13,69USD [www.aliexpress.com]
Thermistor 10x 5,85USD [www.aliexpress.com]
Heater 12V 40W 5x 9,6USD [www.aliexpress.com]
Nema 17 6x 69,12USD [www.aliexpress.com]
LCD 1x 22,8USD [www.aliexpress.com]

This is sum. 197USD

I found a similar kit on eBay for 280 USD
[www.ebay.com]

It is obvious that lot of sellers just collect parts into a kit and try to sell it for a much higher price (I don't want to say that this ebay seller do the same).
What would you suggest? Doest it worth to buy this kit or shall I buy the individual parts I collected? Is there any difference between them?

from China so you get what you pay for and take ages to get here (if you are in US), will there be any other fee on top?

you can get cheaper and more complete than that kit from makerfarm
