Interest in a portable board?

Is there any interest in a full size portable board located in the US?

The board only would sell for $19 plus shipping, availability in January if there's enough interest. PM me if you might be interested in a board or board/bowls/box (9x9x2 inches total size).

The second batch would pull the color less yellow.

Features

Full size board
- 23.2 mm pitch lines fits a wide variety of stones
Very Compact
- Folds into smallest rigid board size available (9 x 9 x 0.25 inches)
High Contrast
- "Bright Kaya" color provides great contrast against stones
Light weight
- Made of chipboard (standard "game board" material)
In use at the Fort Collins Go Club

Looks decent, surprised someone isn't selling these already. I might consider getting one if I get sick of my magnetic set and don't want to get a nicer board yet.

I'm interested, but outside the US.

Just curious, but what is the surface made from? It looks like yellow plastic, is that right? Also I'm wondering about how the sections hinge - if it were just the top layer that bends, how likely do you think it is that it would quickly split? I hope you don't mind me asking but I'm genuinely interested in how people make go boards.
Cheers, John

It is a standard chipboard board typical with a folding board for games with a two-section paper-printed top layer.
