Whole RepRap kit for about $500

I'm working on a RepRap for myself, and from I already gathered whole thing will cost me about $500 - $600 (everything included) with parts made either using laser cutting or cnc.
I was wondering if more people would be interested to buy whole kit for about $500?
(I should everything ready, if there is a need in about one or two months)

Thanks

What is this kit?

What electronics
Bearings?
Hot end?
What rating steppers?
Which version of the lasercut or cnc are you offering?

Nothing too specific yet, but right now it looks like it would be the default Mendel build.
As far as the cnc/laser cut I will have to do little experimenting.

any suggestions?

any suggestions?

$500? $750.

I want <$200 RepRaps, thus Eiffel, and Loaner_Program etc.

But you may go nuts building kits, boxing kits, selling kits, shipping kits, replying to emails about kits, etc. at $500, and would not be able to sustain that price.

Remember, you're all RepRap developers (once you've joined the super-secret developer mailing list), and the wiki, RepRap.org, [reprap.org] is for everyone and everything!

I'm at $487 and hopefully need only electronics, (and hopefully I have the correct steppers).

While I'll have extras, the value of the leftover nuts and bolts will be less than a double sawbuck ($20).

While I'm not interested, I am curious how you will make a profit on a full kit. I can't see squeezing more than maybe $60 out of my build cost through buying in bulk. Maybe. You also have to figure the labor to assemble the kit (cutting to length, counting out screws, packing and shipping...).

You're going to need to redesign the kit to use something less expensive than prototype printed plastic parts to get there.

Correction, I'm at $497.94 now ($10.99 McMaster-Carr shipping & handling)

Highly interested but i agree with Sebastian, charge more as your forgetting your time
and effort, Got to $700 and I will see about getting one from you in Aug 2011. Currently
broke.

Sebastien, Jig saw, table saw, drill, and a lot of other stuff. Only thing is most of its my Dad's, I at 43 years of age don't do to much diy stuff any more, I used to when I was younger and looking to get back to it. Figure I have most of the knowledge and can get my hands on most of the equipment, just not really practical until I get my work situation going.
