Definitely not anywhere near ten fold.  I'm obviously not going to reveal my costs, but if you saw the bill I got just for cutting out the wood, it would probably shock you.   :o

Nope, it's not 800 bucks either, keep going...  And shipping costs quite a bit on something this heavy.

There's one other thing to consider that I haven't brought up.  If I was able to sell the kits for $1600 and make a decent profit, anyone could buy a bunch, stack them in a garage, get a bunch of illegal immigrants with screwdrivers and set up a little side business undercutting my finished cabinets, even if I dropped my prices back down to Hanaho's level.  This is why I almost didn't consider making kits at all.

When I get a greater volume of orders, the price will come down, because my prices will come down.  I'll still be able to make a good profit, and charge less.  That's the goal.

Hey, I totally get your perspective.  I came from Arizona, where you can get an absolutely awesome house for $250k.  I mean a 2-story dream home.  Here in L.A., you can barely get a duplex for that.  :P

That's another thing...rent for industrial space here is a nightmare.  I could save so much cash by taking the business elsewhere, but we do kind of like California.  Besides, I just registered the business here.
