Buying EEG
It is a long time I have been trying to buy a EEG, but I have problems getting one. Am I the only one ? Anyone found a place that sells a good one to private citizen ? Maybe in the USA?

If you're looking at something from the US. . Search used medical equipment. There are tons of perfectly functionAL units for as little as 500. You'll notice a strange divide though in price. You'll find a bunch for 400 to maybe 1500... then a jump to like 5k. Its the digital divide. The older cheaper units print to paper only. The newer pricier units record files.
The best options I've seen are through chinese wholesale sites. I've seen new modern eeg units for as little as a grand. I haven't used one yet but I intend to get one when im able. If you have any questions about file formats or readers let me know. I might be able to help.
Why didn't you say anything to me about that before I set out on the ModulerEEG? Also my parts are totaled about 300+/- so far. Still need a few things....
It's called emotiv epoc. Here's the web site check it out.

You can download the store to see what types of things they have.
I had an issue with the 64bit also but again that was a first version from Kickstarter so it may have been changed/fixed. It didn't have that much of an effect on the device it was usually fixed with a restart.
My main issue was with the contacts on my head. There were many locations that had to be just right and have just enough solution to work. I also had much longer hair then I do now (it's still pretty long). From my understanding the new one, insight, is a dry version that should fix that contact issue I had.
My suggestion is to contact the company for more details about it. I would love to get the new version but it's not something I really need right now since I don't do much concerning brain function. It would be more of a novelty for me.
EDIT: forgot to answer what I used it for. I was using it to try and create games for it. I was at the time interested in software design. And also controlling a pc with it was something of interest with me. For the most part I could accomplish simple tasks for controlling my desktop but not so much typing like is mentioned in some videos/reviews.
Your videos/reviews are here? or on youtube?

How much do you think a set up like that would run?
