How about amortizing it among LessWrong users? If there are enough interested people we can pool up to buy a pair, each one in the pool gets to keep it for (say) a month, and then mails it in an envelope to the next guy. Maybe everyone has to write an experience report as a Less Wrong comment, too.
I am not against the idea but also in the US they are quite reasonably priced. I had to pay shipping to far away, shipping was almost as much as the rings.
The point of my post was a that its a null-experiment (AKA—don’t bother trying it because it wasn’t that exciting). If I don’t share the fact that it was actually not worthwhile, someone else motivated to do it won’t know it has already been reported on.
