I think I paid $9 for mine, including shipping.

Then go VERY, VERY SLOWLY ...........grab each fret and gently
rock it back and forth

This is because it's very easy to grab the fretboard wood if you rip 
quickly.

This is what I"ve been told.........I don't know because I haven't had 
the courage to
rip the frets off of my 'sound of god'  3/4 no name bass that I've put 
shitloads of
customization into.

I'm gonna do it, though and I have the tool.....lol
