Interorbital Systems (I think they secured contract with NASA for launching payloads alongside SpaceX) has a satellite launch kit for $8k:

Definitely in the realm of a tinkering enthusiast willing to save for a few months to put their hobby creations in space.

Interesting times are ahead...

very nice. .75Kg max, for just over $8k they provide a kit that includes solar cells, radio, antennas, CPU, development tools AND the launch.
