Its totally up to you. I'm asking a little more on ebay as they charge fees for selling etc, but you get buyer protection there - so your choice. I'm also sending recorded delivery to those on here vs standard 2nd class on ebay.
Drop me a message if you decide which way you'd rather go.

Hi Paul,
As each build varies slightly (mounting of the gyro for example can never be exact), I am not calibrating each one but leaving it up to those buying. Not only does that save me doing each one, but I also think its a great was to get familiar with the device to to understand whats going on with the data.
They can either be calibrated in a sugar solution, or in a brew - taking regular readings and comparing against a hydrometer and using the online tools to create the calibration equation.

Are you using Ubidots or something else for data?

Mine arrived yesterday. I've not put it to good use yet, but hope to calibrate and start a new brew over the next few days.
Excellent service from Neil - a very neat and professional job.

Neil, My iSpindel arrived very speedily this morning. The workmanship and tidiness of the construction and soldering is second to none.
Thanks to the sound advice given by Dolve (thanks for that Dolve, I too was completely bemused by Ubidots) I downloaded the Brew spy app and calibrated, with the iSpindel in a brew by teatime.
This looks like this is going to be a game changer for my brewing processes, so Neil thanks you so much.

Love it - thanks! I've not looked at brewspy, so maybe I should!
Brewspy is easier to use but Ubidots lets you do more. It isn't too difficult to get your head around and set up a dashboard:

I've just ordered one too!
Mine arrived this week. Well packaged and promptly delivered. The build quality is better than I'd hoped for and, although I've not even turned it on yet, I'm looking forward to my next brew when I can give it a test run.
Cheers Neil.
Cheers Neil.
You should turn it on and set it up and calibrate it before your next brew.
Yes, I'll be doing so although some of the YouTube vids on how to do it are confusing me somewhat. Is there a simple guide out there?
