Seeing as how 6061 aluminum is one of the most common aluminum available I dont think it is that hard.
Oh look what I found, a place that CNC's billet aluminum for no more then $50 a piece. I can also post around 100 more links to places like this if you really want me to.

So in all it is around $100, seems like @
kodyo hit the ball out of the park. So they are adding almost $300 in R&D cost. Also if anyone thinks im bashing the product or the company im not. Im just stating my opinion on the price and thats it, if these were $200-300 then I would of never said anything.... Im done with this argument, I got my point across.
