    There are many dangers on Pandora, and one of the subtlest is that you may come to love it too much.

    Well, I've created stuff like this before and him charging 50 - 70 dollars is practically robbery imo... Order a bag of neodymium magnets from magnet4less.com for a few bucks, grab a block of wood (or other preferred material), and take out the drill. Super glue the magnets in a way that you see fit (some experimentation required) and there you go! You could probably build this yourself for under $20, including the cost of shipping the magnets and the wood.

    but yes, it would be neat to have

    Can you show me a picture of it? I have tried for times to float a magnet in the air with some other permanent magnets, but failed. It is impossible for me to keep the magnet at the balanced position to let it float. The magnet always turned and stuck with the one below. How did you do that? Or I misunderstood your meaning?

    I would imagine that you need to apply rotation to the floating magnet to stabilize it.

    If there are enough customers, the product will be produced in a large scale.
